Toyota Motor Corp.'s net profit in the fiscal first quarter ended June 30 climbed 10% to a record 646 billion yen ($5.1 billion).
The company's operating profit in April-June grew 9% to 756 billion yen ($6.1 billion). Revenue expanded 9% to 7 trillion yen ($56.4 billion) because of favorable currency exchange. Unit sales declined 6% to 2.11 million vehicles. Analysts note that Toyota's sales growth has been muted by the effect of a now-lifted three-year ban on plant expansion.
Toyota reports quarterly net revenue gains in North America (+26% to 581 billion yen) and Japan (+6% to 205 billion). But revenue fell in Asia (-5% to 54 billion yen) and Europe (-1% to 7 billion).
Toyota predicts its full-fiscal-year revenue will rise 2% to 27.8 trillion yen ($224 billion) and operating income will increase 2% to 2.8 trillion yen ($22.6 billion). The company lowered its full-year volume forecast to 10.12 million units from 10.15 million, reflecting less optimism about emerging markets.

When Ford announced its 3rd quarter earning on October 24, the official announcement said, in part, “Company revenue was up 3 percent year over year, with net income and company adjusted EBIT both down year over year, primarily driven by continued challenges in China.” The previous day, perhaps as a preemptive move to answer the question “If things are going poorly in China, what are you doing about it?, Ford announced that it was establishing Ford China as a stand-alone business unit.
