Nissan: Group net loss first half year to ¥222 billion
Japanese manufacturer posts sharply worsening half-year losses
In the first half of the year, Nissan sold 1.48 million cars globally and posted consolidated net sales of ¥5.6 trillion, with an operating loss of ¥27.7 billion. This was announced by the Japanese car company when releasing its results for the first six months of the 2025-2026 fiscal year. The company posted a net loss of ¥221.9 billion, a sharp deterioration from the profit of ¥19.2 billion for the same period in 2024. The group's financial position showed total liquidity of ¥3.6 trillion, including ¥2.2 trillion in gross cash as of September. The company confirms its 2025 estimates of net sales at ¥11.7 trillion.
Progressive cost cutting and robust demand in North America still allowed Nissan to post an operating profit in the second quarter, its best result in a year, but there is still a long way to go for a more solid turnaround in the accounts and the picture remains critical
Nissan has finalised the sale of its Yokohama headquarters, south of the capital, for 97 billion yen (EUR 550 million), while retaining use through a lease agreement. "We remain on track to achieve operational break-even, excluding the impact of tariffs," said CEO Ivan Espinosa, emphasising the strength of sales in the North American market. As usual, the company did not provide an estimate on annual net profit, but kept its revenue forecast unchanged at ¥11.7 trillion, down 7.4% year-on-year
