In this environment, the Honda Group strove to build a
stronger corporate enterprise that can respond swiftly and
accurately to changes in the many and varied needs of cus-
tomers and society at large. On the research and development
front, the Honda Group took proactive steps in developing
advanced technologies to enhance safety and environmental
technologies as well as product appeal. On the production
front, the Honda Group revamped its framework to further
fortify its production operations and enable it to respond to
changes in demand on a global basis. On the sales front, the
Honda Group proactively enhanced its product lineup by
launching products embodying new forms of value and
supplying products across national boundaries.
As a result, Honda’s consolidated sales revenue for the fiscal
year ended March 31, 2016 totaled ¥14,601.1 billion, an
increase of 9.6% compared to the previous year, reflecting higher
sales in the automobile and financial services business opera-
tions. Operating profit amounted to ¥503.3 billion, a decrease of
24.9% compared to the previous fiscal year, due mainly to
increased SG&A expenses including quality related product
warranty expenses, and negative currency translation effects,

cost-reduction efforts. Profit before income taxes amounted to
