Osamu Masuko, President and CEO of Mitsubishi Motors Corporation, made the following statement: "Our company is adapting more a culture of commitment, discipline and focus on performance following the Alliance with Nissan.

Net revenue during the cumulative three quarters in FY2016 (from April to December) resulted in 1 trillion 341.8 billion in Japanese yen, 19% lower than the same period of previous year. Operating profit was minus 23.2 billion yen due to the large loss through the second quarter.

On a standalone basis for the third quarter (from October to December), profit recovered to 8.4 billion yen as a result of operational efficiency driven mainly by cost reduction, optimized sales expenses, and favorable exchange rates.

Ordinary profit and net income remained negative for the cumulative three quarters but returned to positive for the third quarter alone.

2. Global sales performance

Global sales volume during the cumulative three quarters in FY16 declined to 673,000 units. This is 15% lower than the same period of last year but relatively in line with the revised plan released in October.

Sales in Japan totaled 50,000 units, down by 24% year on year. The drop in sales in the first half coming from the overstated fuel economy issue did not recover fully. However, on a third quarter alone, sales rose by 1,000 units, compared to the same period of previous year. In North America, the sales of Mirage declined but Outlander contributed to the total sales, resulting in 101,000 units, in line as the previous year. In Europe, sales resulted in 132,000 units, down by 16% year on year. This is coming mainly from the sales drop in Russia with lower than expected economy and lower sales of Outlander PHEV in Netherlands.

In Asia, total sales resulted in 229,000 units, which is lower by 5% year on year. Sales declined in ASEAN, in particular Thailand, where performance was lower than previous year. The affect of the new Pajero Sport launch and the Thai Government's tax incentives contributed more positively in the previous year. Sales in China is recovering gradually with the localization in production of the Outlander.

Sales in other regions was 161,000 units, down by 27% compared to the same period of last year as low commodity prices affected Middle East and Latin America.

Based on the financial results of the third quarter and the latest forecasts, Mitsubishi Motors has revised the full year forecast for FY 2016. The operating profit is expected at 1 billion yen, an upward revision of 28.6 billion yen from the original forecast. This is mainly due to improved operating efficiency of 16.9 billion yen and impact of favorable exchange rates of 11.7 billion yen. Consolidated operating profit margin, which dropped to minus 3.7% in the first half, is estimated to increase to 3.2% in the second half. If the operating profit is achieved, the company will mark a 12-year consecutive positive operating profit since FY 2005.
