Honda Motor Co.'s net revenue in the fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31 rose 8% to 3.4 trillion yen ($28.2 billion).
But consolidated new-car sales declined slightly to 915,000 units, and operating income fell 32% to 112 billion yen ($941 million). Net income for the period plunged 43% to 98 billion yen ($824 million).
