—All Business Sectors Strong—
Yamaha Motor Co., Ltd. (TOKYO:7272)(ISIN:JP3942800008) announced
today that net income soared nearly 61% to a company-record 101.6
billion yen in fiscal 2017, which finished on December 31. The huge
increase was driven by sales of higher-end products and cost
reductions achieved through advanced processes for manufacturing
and refined development methods for platform- and global-model
motorcycles. Net sales rose over 11% to 1.67 trillion yen on strong
sales of motorcycles in the ASEAN region, outboard motors in the US
and surface mounters and industrial robots. Ordinary income surged
nearly 52% to 154.8 billion yen.
Motorcycle unit sales in the ASEAN region scored their highest
YoY gain since 2011. Net sales overall increased and operating
income rose substantially on increased sales of products in higher
price ranges and the effects of cost reductions in emerging markets
such as Brazil and the ASEAN region.
Marine-sector unit sales of outboard motors and water vehicles
sales rose and boat production was boosted by boat-builder
acquisitions in Europe and the US. Operating income increased on an
improved model mix due to increased sales of large outboard motors
in North America and Europe.
Yamaha Motor is forecasting stable income in fiscal 2018.
Medium- to long-term initiatives should see solid progress assuming
that business conditions continue to hold. Net sales are expected
to rise 1.8% to 1,700 billion yen and net income should climb about
1.4 percent to 103 billion yen. Operating income and ordinary
income are expected to be on par with their fiscal 2017 levels.
