1. Overview of Consolidated Financial Results

[1] Overview of Consolidated Operating Results and Consolidated Financial Position

Consolidated Operating Results

Honda’s consolidated sales revenue for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 increased by 0.5%, to JPY 21,796.6 billion from the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, due mainly to increased sales revenue in Motorcycle business, which was partially offset by decreased sales revenue in Automobile business as well as negative foreign currency translation effects. Operating loss was JPY 414.3 billion, a decrease of JPY 1,627.8 billion from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to the impact of EV (electric vehicle)-related losses as well as tariff impacts, which was partially offset by increased profit attributable to price and cost impacts. Loss before income taxes was JPY 403.3 billion, a decrease of JPY 1,720.9 billion from the previous fiscal year, due mainly to the impact of EV-related losses. Loss for the year attributable to owners of the parent was JPY 423.9 billion, a decrease of JPY 1,259.7 billion from the previous fiscal year. For the impact of EV-related losses, please refer to 3. Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements [6] Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements [B] Segment Information.

Consolidated Financial Position

Total assets as of March 31, 2026 increased by JPY 2,733.4 billion, to JPY 33,509.2 billion from March 31, 2025 due mainly to increased equipment on operating leases as well as positive foreign currency translation effects. Total liabilities increased by JPY 3,213.1 billion, to JPY 21,361.2 billion from March 31, 2025 due mainly to increased financing liabilities as well as positive foreign currency translation effects. Total equity decreased by JPY 479.7 billion, to JPY 12,148.0 billion from March 31, 2025 due mainly to a decrease attributable to acquisition of the company’s own shares as well as a decrease in retained earnings attributable to loss for the year, which was partially offset by positive foreign currency translation effects.

Consolidated Cash Flows

Consolidated cash and cash equivalents on March 31, 2026 increased by JPY 589.6 billion from March 31, 2025, to JPY 5,118.4 billion. The reasons for the increases or decreases for each cash flow activity, when compared with the previous fiscal year, are as follows:

Net cash provided by operating activities amounted to JPY 1,135.2 billion of cash inflows. Cash inflows from operating activities increased by JPY 843.1 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, due mainly to a decrease in payments for parts and raw materials as well as an increase in collections of receivables from financial services.

Net cash used in investing activities amounted to JPY 852.1 billion of cash outflows. Cash outflows from investing activities decreased by JPY 89.8 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, due mainly to a decrease in payments for acquisitions of investments accounted for using the equity method.

Net cash used in financing activities amounted to JPY 36.9 billion of cash outflows. Cash outflows from financing activities increased by JPY 317.3 billion compared with the previous fiscal year, due mainly to a decrease in proceeds from financing liabilities, which was partially offset by decreased repayments of financing liabilities.

[6] Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

[A] Changes in Presentation

Consolidated statements of cash flows

For the year ended March 31, 2025, loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets was included in “Other, net” within cash flows from operating activities. Considering the increase in quantitative materiality of this item, this has been presented as a separate line item from the year ended March 31, 2026. To reflect this change in presentation, the consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended March 31, 2025 has been reclassified accordingly. As a result of this reclassification, JPY 22,065 million previously presented as “Other, net” within cash flows from operating activities for the year ended March 31, 2025 has been presented separately into JPY 22,079 million of “Loss (gain) on disposal of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets” and JPY -14 million of “Other, net” within cash flows from operating activities.

Impact on Automobile business due to changes in the EV market environment

The Company has been promoting initiatives toward electrification of its automobile business with the aim of achieving carbon neutrality for all products and corporate activities Honda is involved in by 2050. However, the business environment surrounding the Company has been changing rapidly, and the outlook remains uncertain. In the United States, the expansion of the EV market has slowed due to revisions to EV incentives and the easing of fossil fuel regulations, resulting in impacts such as a decrease in EV sales volume and an increase in sales incentives. Given the changes in the market environment, as part of the revision of its product launch plans, the Company decided during the year ended March 31, 2026 to cancel the launch and development of a certain EV model, and to discontinue production or reduce production volume for EV models jointly developed under a certain alliance agreement. Furthermore, on March 12, 2026, the Company reassessed its automobile electrification strategy and made additional decisions, including the cancellation of development and market launch of certain EV models that had been planned for production in North America. In addition, for certain EV models jointly developed with our joint venture and scheduled to be manufactured by the Company’s subsidiary in North America, the joint venture decided to cancel their development and market launch. In China, while the EV market continues to grow, competition has intensified due to the rapid emergence of new EV manufacturers. Under such a challenging and competitive environment, the Company has also revised its product launch plans for certain EV models.

As a result, for the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company and its certain consolidated subsidiaries recognized losses and expenses of JPY 1,047,918 million in cost of sales, JPY 7,889 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, JPY 397,870 million in research and development expenses, and JPY 124,128 million in share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method in the consolidated statements of income. These losses and expenses are included in Automobile business. The breakdown of these losses and expenses is as follows.

Impairment losses and losses on disposal of non-financial assets

Impairment losses (JPY 521,377 million) and losses on disposal (JPY 331,426 million) of non-financial assets mainly consist of the following items and are recorded in cost of sales of JPY 454,933 million and research and development expenses of JPY 397,870 million in the consolidated statements of income for the year ended March 31, 2026.

- Impairment losses (JPY 521,377 million): Impairment losses mainly on property, plant and equipment and other non-current assets (including manufacturing equipment) related to EV models in North America for which the Company decided to discontinue production or cancel development and market launch, as well as impairment losses on intangible assets (capitalized development costs) related to EV models discontinued in North America and certain EV models in China. The recoverable amount of these non-financial assets is measured at fair value less costs of disposal; however, as the assets cannot be practically sold or repurposed, the Company assessed the fair value less costs of disposal as zero. A Level 3 fair value hierarchy is assigned since observable inputs are not available.

- Losses on disposal (JPY 331,426 million): Losses resulting from derecognition of intangible assets (capitalized development costs) related to EV models in North America for which development was canceled prior to market launch.

For certain EV models in North America for which development and market launch were canceled, the Company’s subsidiary in North America is entitled to reimbursement from the joint venture for the expenditures incurred due to the cancellation. The reimbursement has been recognized as other receivables, which is presented within trade receivables in the consolidated statements of financial position and is included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of income. In addition, the reimbursement costs recognized by the joint venture are included in the share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method.

 

—13—

Share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method

Share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method (JPY 124,128 million) includes, in addition to the reimbursement costs recognized by the joint venture described above, impairment losses of JPY 90,882 million on investments accounted for using the equity method related to certain joint ventures in China.

Provisions for EV-related losses

Provisions for EV-related losses include provisions recognized due to changes in the EV market environment and the reassessment of the automobile electrification strategy. Additional provisions (JPY 667,366 million) mainly consist of the following items:

- Additional provisions of JPY 106,296 million were recognized for an onerous contract under the alliance agreement, primarily due to a shift in the United States government policy, including the imposition of tariffs, the elimination of tax incentives for EV purchases, and the easing of emissions regulations, as well as a reduction in production volume, which resulted in decreased economic benefits and increased costs.

- Additional provisions of JPY 561,070 million were recognized for losses or expenses arising from contracts entered into with other parties in relation to EV models, including compensation related to alliance agreements and contracts for parts supply and procurement.

For information on subsequent event related to the reassessment of the automobile electrification strategy, see [E] Subsequent Event.

Basic earnings (loss) per share attributable to owners of the parent (yen)			178.93				(106.06	)

[E] Subsequent Event

Subsequent event related to the reassessment of the automobile electrification strategy

The Company and its consolidated subsidiaries had historically entered into contracts with suppliers for the procurement of parts. During the year ended March 31, 2026, the Company decided to cancel the development and market launch of EV models that were planned for production in North America. For details of the decision, see [B] Segment Information. Accordingly, in the following fiscal year, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries initiated an assessment to identify the impact of such decision on the suppliers. Additional payments to suppliers may arise in the future as a result of this assessment and related negotiations with them. However, as the assessment is ongoing, the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries cannot estimate the financial effects of such expenditures on the consolidated financial position or results of operations. As of March 31, 2026, a provision was not recognized as the response to the cancellation of model development requires discussions with suppliers and the amount of the obligation cannot be measured with sufficient reliability.

[F] Other

Loss related to airbag inflators

Honda has been conducting market-based measures in relation to airbag inflators. Honda recognizes a provision for specific warranty costs when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation. There is a possibility that Honda will need to recognize additional provisions when new evidence related to the product recalls arise, however, it is not possible for Honda to reasonably estimate the amount and timing of potential future losses as of the date of this report.

Notice Concerning Differences between Forecasts and Actual Consolidated Financial Results for the Fiscal Year Ended March 31, 2026

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) announces the differences between the forecasts announced on March 12, 2026, and the actual consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, as follows. Consolidated financial results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, were near the upper end of the forecast range.

Particulars

Reason for Differences

Operating profit for the year ended March 31, 2026, was near the upper end of the forecast range, which was announced on March 12, 2026, despite EV-related losses, reflecting higher consolidated unit sales in the Automobile and Motorcycle businesses, as well as positive foreign currency effects.

In addition to the aforementioned effect, profit before income taxes, profit for the year, and profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent were affected by gains or losses on foreign exchange included in finance income and finance costs.

 

*	Basic earnings per share attributable to owners of the parent is calculated based on profit for the year attributable to owners of the parent.
