            The sales volume for Mar/2012 fiscal term amounted to Yen 1,314,588 million, a 5.8% up from Yen 1,242,691 million in the previous term.  The sales growth is due to stronger sales at its subsidiaries in Indonesia and Thailand.  Its business in Thailand ahs resumed after slowing in the wake of the massive floods that hit the Southeast Asian nation last year.  Total unit sales of Hino Brand trucks and buses increased 17.9% to 128 thousand units, while sales to Toyota Motor Corp decreased 3.4% to 153 thousand units.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 34,577 million and the net profit at Yen 16,303 million, respectively, compared with Yen 25,058 million recurring profit and Yen 10,041 million net losses, respectively, a year ago. 

           

            For the current term ending Mar 2013 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 45,000 million and the net profit at Yen 28,000 million, on a 12.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 1,480,000 million.  Post-quake demand will continue.  Sales are expected to rise in ASEAN and South America.  Production on consignment to Toyota Motor will take a recover path.  Profits are estimated to decrease due to the soaring materials costs and the strong Yen. 

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR and good for ORDINARY business engagements.
