Mazda Motor Corp. reports its net sales grew 12% to 3.4 trillion yen ($31 billion) in the fiscal year ended March 31. Retail sales for the period climbed 10% to 1.53 million vehicles, thanks to gains in all major markets.
Operating income rose 12% to 227 billion yen ($2 billion). But the company’s net income fell 15% to 134 billion yen ($1.2 billion).
