TOKYO, Feb 12 (Reuters) - Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. reported its third quarter earnings results for the fiscal year ending March 2026 on Sunday. The company's consolidated performance showed a decline across key metrics compared to the same period last year.

For the nine months ended December 31, 2025, Nissan recorded a consolidated 8 billion yen, marking a decrease of 6.2% from the previous year’s figure of 914.3 billion yen. Operating income plunged by 86.6%, dropping to negative 10.1 billion yen from positive 64.0 billion yen in the corresponding period of 2025. Similarly, ordinary income fell sharply to negative 110.8 billion yen from 159.4 billion yen in the prior year. Net income attributable to owners of the parent company also declined significantly, reaching negative 250.2 billion yen compared to just 5.1 billion yen in the same quarter of the previous year.

The company's balance sheet as of December 31, 2025, indicated total assets of 19.7 trillion yen and net assets of 5.3 trillion yen, resulting in a capital adequacy ratio of 24.9%. This represents a slight reduction from the previous year-end figures, where total assets were 19.0 trillion yen and net assets stood at 5.4 trillion yen, yielding a capital adequacy ratio of 26.1%.

Regarding dividend payments, Nissan has not declared any interim dividends for the current fiscal year, maintaining a zero payout policy through the third quarter. For the full fiscal year ending March 2026, Nissan revised its forecast, projecting a significant drop in sales to 119.0 billion yen, down 5.8% from the previous year. Additionally, operating income is expected to be negative 60.0 billion yen, while net income attributable to owners of the parent company is anticipated to reach negative 650.0 billion yen, reflecting an ongoing challenging business environment. The per-share loss for the full fiscal year is projected to be 186.04 yen, indicating substantial financial pressures ahead.

Nissan attributed these declines to various factors including market conditions, competitive dynamics, and operational challenges. The company highlighted that it will continue to monitor economic trends closely and adapt its strategies accordingly to navigate the uncertain landscape. Investors should note that these forecasts incorporate risks and uncertainties, and actual outcomes may differ materially from current expectations due to unforeseen circumstances affecting the automotive industry globally.
