Read MoreHide Full Article

Earnings per ADR comfortably surpassed the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $2.30. The Japanese automaker reported consolidated net income of ¥552.5 billion ($5.11 billion) in first-quarter fiscal 2017, down from ¥646.4 billion ($5.34 billion) posted in the year-ago quarter.
Consolidated revenues decreased 5.7% year over year to ¥6.58 trillion ($61 billion) in the reported quarter. However, the figure outpaced the Zacks Consensus Estimate of $59.22 billion.
Unit sales went up 2.8% year over year to 2.17 million vehicles globally. Sales improved 8.8% to 511,170 units in Japan, 7.9% to 222,708 vehicles in Europe, 16.9% to 384,171 units in Asia. However sales declined 1.8% to 715,384 vehicles in North America and 10.8% to 339,226 units in other regions (Central and South America, Oceania, Africa and the Middle East).
Operating income decreased 15% to ¥642.2 billion ($5.9 billion) from ¥756 billion ($6.3 billion) a year ago. The decline was due to unfavorable foreign exchange rates, partially offset by cost-reduction and marketing efforts.
The Automotive segment’s revenues dropped 6% to ¥6.03 trillion ($55.8 billion) in the reported quarter, while the operating income plunged 19.8% to ¥543.4 billion ($5.03 billion).
