Mitsubishi Motors Corporation (MMC) today announced its sales and financial forecasts for the third quarter of the 2015 fiscal year (3Q FY2015) ending March 31, 2016 along with a full-year forecast revision.

1. Performance overview
MMC posted consolidated net sales of 1,622.0 billion yen for the first nine months of fiscal 2015 (April 1 through December 31, 2015), a 5% or 73.4 billion yen increase over the same period last fiscal year.

MMC posted an operating income of 102.0 billion yen, an increase of 1% or 1.2 billion yen over the same period last fiscal year. Despite an increase in costs on quality measures in market, positive factors such as cost reductions and improvements in volume/model mix, and others contributed to the increase.

MMC posted an ordinary income of 106.7 billion yen, a decrease of 11%, or 13.4 billion yen over the same period in FY2014. Net income attributable to owners of the parent came to 76.7 billion yen, a decrease of 22% or 21.9 billion year-on-year due to extraordinary loss of 15.3 billion recorded from terminating the production in the U.S.

2. Sales Volume (Retail)
Global retail sales volume for the first nine months of FY2015 totaled 787, 000 units, a decrease of 2% or 19,000 units over the same period in FY2014. Sales volumes by regions were as follows.

Japan: Sales volume totaled 66,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 16% or 13,000 units. Despite sales increased with registered vehicles over the same period last year, decrease in minicar sales negatively affected the total decrease for the region.

North America: Sales volume totaled 101,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 19% or 16,000 units. The increase was driven by firm sales of the Outlander and the Outlander Sport (RVR or ASX in some markets).

Europe: Sales volume in the Western European area totaled 129,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 18% or 21,000 units, contributed mainly by sales increases in Germany and the United Kingdom. However, this increase could not offset the drop in sales volume in Russia where the economic environment worsened and prices rose due to a worsening currency situation, resulting in a total of 157,000 units, a decrease of 8% or 14,000 units for the region as a whole.

Asia: Sales volume totaled 242,000 units, a year-on-year decrease of 6% or 15,000 units. Although sales increased in Thailand over the same period last year, led by firm sales of the Pajero Sport which debuted in October 2015, sales decrease in China and Indonesia negatively affected the total sales of the region.

Other Regions: Sales volume totaled 221,000 units, a year-on-year increase of 4% or 7,000 units due to sales increase in the Middle East and Africa.
