In the Land Mobility (Motorcycles) segment, net sales were 429.0bn yen (a decrease of -133.6bn yen/-23.7%), with an operating loss of -6.7bn yen (the same period the previous fiscal year showed an operating income of 20.8bn yen).
In RVs (All-Terrain Vehicles, Recreational Off-highway Vehicles (ROVs) and snowmobiles), the deficit widened as a result of the decrease in ROV sales and the closure of US factories due to lockdowns.
