On May 11, Nissan Motor Co. released its financial results for fiscal 2025 (ending March 2026), posting a net loss of 533.1 billion yen (equivalent to 3.4 billion USD). This marks the second consecutive year of losses for the Japanese automaker, primarily driven by costs associated with a business restructuring program.
The results highlight the challenges Nissan faces amid intense global automotive market competition, especially the shift toward electric vehicles and rising raw material costs. Restructuring measures include cutting production output, closing some plants, and streamlining its workforce to achieve long-term cost savings.
Despite the losses, Nissan's management expects these restructuring efforts to improve its financial performance in the next fiscal year. The company is focusing on boosting sales of hybrid and electric vehicle models, while expanding strategic partnerships to optimize its supply chain and reduce development costs.
