Fiscal Year Results

Honda's consolidated sales revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 increased by 16.2%, to JPY 16,907.7 billion from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, due mainly to increased sales revenue in Motorcycle business as well as positive foreign currency translation effects. Operating profit decreased by 3.7%, to JPY 839.3 billion from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to decreased profit attributable to sales impacts and increased expenses including product warranty expenses, which was partially offset by positive foreign currency effects. Profit before income taxes decreased by 12.3%, to JPY 938.1 billion from the previous fiscal year. Profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 1.7%, to JPY 695.2 billion from the previous fiscal year.

Earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent for the year amounted to JPY 409.87, a decrease of JPY 1.22 from the previous fiscal year. One Honda American Depository Share represents one common share.
