Nissan reports financial results for fiscal year 2020
YOKOHAMA, Japan – Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. today announced financial results for the fourth quarter and the 12-month period ended March 31, 2021.
In fiscal year 2020, Nissan has shown quarter by quarter steady recovery through strengthened financial base, improved selling expenses and fixed cost reduction further supported by renewed product lineup.
Nissan managed to grow sales during an unprecedently challenging period. In particular, sales volume in the fourth quarter grew significantly compared to the third quarter. In addition, Nissan made notable improvements in the quality of sales, optimized sales incentives and reduced inventory while improving revenue per unit, resulting in a significant reduction in operating loss in the fourth quarter compared to the same period last year.
As a result, the company made steady progress towards achieving the goals of Nissan NEXT through the year: to rationalize, to prioritize and focus on Nissan’s strengths, and to build a sustainable foundation for long-term growth. Nissan delivered more than 350 billion yen in fixed cost reductions, exceeding targeted goal; have seen good early sales of the all-new Rogue in the US and the all-new Note e-POWER in Japan, part of an attractive line-up of new products that leverages Nissan’s strengths.
The company’s full-year performance was impacted by the global COVID-19 pandemic which led to a decline in sales volumes, particularly in the first quarter, sales recovered in the following quarters. However, the business climate change continues to be a challenge. In addition to the COVID-19 impact, external factors including exchange rate fluctuations and semiconductor supply shortages compressed the company’s profitability.
In fiscal year 2020, consolidated net revenue declined to 7.86 trillion yen, resulting in an operating loss of 150.7 billion yen, which is significantly improved from the full-year forecast at the beginning of the fiscal year, and a net loss1 of 448.7 billion yen. This includes costs associated with restructuring by 61.3 billion yen as Nissan focused on operational and efficiency improvements to transform the business. Free cash flow for the automotive business was a negative 391.0 billion yen.
Nissan maintains sufficient liquidity to steer through this challenging business environment. At year-end, cash and cash equivalents for the automotive business totaled 1.9 trillion yen. Automotive net cash was 636.0 billion yen. In addition, the company continues to have access to approximately 2.2 trillion yen in unused committed credit facilities.
