Regarding Media Reports concerning Honda’s Business Performance
It was reported in the Nikkei online edition on May 8, 2026, that Honda’s consolidated operating loss for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 would be approximately in the range of 400.0 billion yen. However, our company has not made any announcement concerning this matter.
Honda’s consolidated operating loss for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026 is expected to fall within the range of the full-year consolidated earnings forecast announced on March 12, 2026, due to factors such as losses associated with the reassessment of automobile electrification strategy. However, it is currently under confirmation and is scheduled to be announced on May 14, 2026.
