东京讯 本田汽车周二上调全年净利润预测至5000亿日元（约合31亿美元），此前为4000亿日元，因日元持续走弱缓冲了其撤出电动汽车业务所带来的高昂成本影响。
TOKYO -- Honda Motor on Tuesday raised its full-year net profit forecast to 500 billion yen ($3.1 billion), up from 400 billion yen, as a persistently weak yen cushions the impact of its costly retreat from electric vehicles.
本田针对截至3月的财政年度的最新净利润预测预计将显示出从上一财政年度4239亿日元净亏损的快速扭转。
Honda's latest net profit projection for the fiscal year through March is expected to show a quick turnaround from a 423.9 billion yen net loss in the previous fiscal year.
营收预计为24.4万亿日元，较上年增长11.9%，而营业利润预计为7800亿日元，此前一年为4143亿日元的营业亏损。
Revenue is projected at 24.4 trillion yen, up 11.9% from the previous year, while operating profit is forecast at 780 billion yen, compared with an operating loss of 414.3 billion yen a year earlier.
日元走弱是此次上调预测的因素之一。8月，该汽车制造商将全年汇率假设从每美元145日元上调至155日元，意味着其每赚取一美元海外收入可多获得10日元。现在，该公司进一步将汇率假设上调至每美元156日元。周二早上，日元兑美元汇率约为158。
The weaker yen is factoring into the upward revision. In August, the automaker revised its full-year exchange-rate assumption to 155 yen to the dollar, from 145 yen, meaning an extra 10 yen for every dollar it earns overseas. It has now further raised the assumption to 156 yen per dollar. The yen was trading around 158 to the dollar on Tuesday morning.
最新预测发布之际，这家日本汽车制造商正在迅速放弃一项雄心勃勃且成本高昂的电气化计划。2024年，本田承诺到3月31日投资10万亿日元用于电动汽车和软件，但在电动汽车需求放缓以及美国总统特朗普领导下的美国政策变化削弱消费者转向电池动力车辆的激励后，该公司缩减了预算。
The latest forecast comes as the Japanese automaker rapidly unwinds an ambitious and costly electrification push. In 2024, Honda pledged to invest 10 trillion yen in EVs and software by March 31, then scaled back the budget after EV demand slowed and changes in U.S. policy under President Donald Trump weakened incentives for consumers to switch to battery-powered vehicles.
今年早些时候，本田取消了原计划在北美开发的三款电动汽车车型。这一撤退导致上一财政年度出现沉重的电动汽车相关费用，造成1.5万亿日元的亏损。尽管预计这一举措将继续拖累业绩，本田仍决定投资一款混合动力汽车项目。本田在中国也面临困境，汽车需求疲软以及本地电动汽车制造商的激烈竞争正在给外国汽车制造商带来压力。一位市场观察人士表示，丰田相对强劲的混合动力车销售正在给其他日本和西方混合动力车型带来压力。
Early this year, Honda scrapped the development of three EV models planned for North America. The retreat contributed to heavy EV-related charges the previous fiscal year, resulting in a 1.5 trillion yen loss. Despite expecting the move to continue weighing on earnings, Honda has decided to invest in a hybrid vehicle project Honda is also struggling in China, where sluggish auto demand and fierce competition from local EV makers are weighing on foreign automakers. A market observer said Toyota's relatively strong hybrid sales are adding to the pressure on other Japanese and Western hybrid models.
本田在中国的产量在4月至9月期间较上年同期暴跌约60%，降至131,716辆。
Honda's China production in April-September plunged about 60% from the year-earlier period to 131,716 units.
