[6-K] HONDA MOTOR CO LTD Current Report (Foreign Issuer)

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (HMC) reported weaker results for the six months ended September 30, 2025 as EV-related charges weighed on earnings. Consolidated sales revenue slipped 1.5% to ¥10,632.6 billion, while operating profit fell 41.0% to ¥438.1 billion. Profit before income taxes declined 28.9% to ¥527.4 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent dropped 37.0% to ¥311.8 billion, reducing EPS to ¥76.30.

Motorcycle operations were a bright spot, with external sales revenue up 6.1% to ¥1,920.7 billion and operating profit up 13.0% to ¥368.2 billion on higher unit sales. In contrast, the Automobile business posted an operating loss of ¥73.0 billion, driven mainly by changes in the EV market environment and tariff impacts. Honda recognized significant EV-related losses and expenses in this segment, including ¥139,888 million in cost of sales, ¥8,130 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, and ¥89,245 million in research and development due to canceled and scaled-back EV programs and an onerous alliance contract.

Cash generation improved, with net cash from operating activities rising to ¥365.9 billion from ¥68.7 billion, and cash and cash equivalents reaching ¥4,677.9 billion as of September 30, 2025. Honda also continued shareholder returns, paying dividends of ¥34.00 per share for the period and approving an additional interim dividend of ¥35.00 per share.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Sharp profit deterioration: Operating profit fell 41.0% to ¥438.1 billion and profit attributable to owners declined 37.0% to ¥311.8 billion, materially weakening interim earnings.
• Automobile segment loss and EV reset: The Automobile business posted a ¥73.0 billion operating loss, including large EV-related charges and provisions, and Honda cut its 2030 global EV sales ratio expectation from 30% to 20%.

Insights

Equity analyst – autos and industrials

EV-related charges drove a sharp profit decline despite strong motorcycles and solid cash generation.

Honda shows a clear divergence between businesses. Group sales revenue dipped to ¥10,632.7 billion, but the bigger story is margin compression: operating profit fell to ¥438.1 billion, down 41%. Profit attributable to owners decreased to ¥311.8 billion, pulling EPS down to ¥76.30 versus ¥103.25 a year earlier. This marks a materially weaker earnings profile for the period.

The Automobile business swung to an operating loss of ¥73.0 billion, mainly due to EV-market pressures and tariffs. Honda recorded sizeable EV-related charges within this segment: ¥139,888 million in cost of sales, ¥8,130 million in SG&A, and ¥89,245 million in R&D. These stem from canceling a specific EV model, reducing production of jointly developed EVs, and additional provisions of ¥99,744 million for an onerous alliance contract. Honda also now expects its global EV sales ratio in 2030 to be 20% versus a prior 30% target, signaling a notable reset of its previously communicated roadmap.

By contrast, the Motorcycle business delivered operating profit of ¥368.3 billion, up 13%, supported by unit growth and favorable price/cost effects. The Financial Services business saw sales revenue decline to ¥1,676.9 billion and operating profit ease to ¥143.2 billion, while Power products and other businesses posted a small operating loss of ¥0.2 billion with year-on-year improvement. On the balance sheet, total assets increased to ¥31,491.2 billion and cash and cash equivalents rose to ¥4,677.9 billion, helped by a strong rebound in operating cash flow to ¥365.9 billion. At the same time, Honda intensified shareholder returns through larger treasury stock purchases (treasury stock balance widening to ¥1,943.0 billion) and continued dividends, even as equity attributable to owners edged down to ¥11,957.8 billion.

Profit before income taxes decreased by 28.9%, to ¥527.4 billion from the same period last year. Profit for the period attributable to owners of the parent decreased by 37.0%, to ¥311.8 billion from the same period last year.

Explanatory notes:

1. Segment profit (loss) of each segment is measured in a consistent manner with consolidated operating profit, which is profit before income taxes before share of profit (loss) of investments accounted for using the equity method and finance income and finance costs. Expenses not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable.

2. Segment assets of each segment are defined as total assets including investments accounted for using the equity method, derivatives, and deferred tax assets. Segment assets are based on those directly associated with each segment and those not directly associated with specific segments are allocated based on the most reasonable measures applicable except for the corporate assets described below.

3. Intersegment sales revenues are generally made at values that approximate arm’s-length prices.

4. Reconciling items include elimination of intersegment transactions and balances as well as unallocated corporate assets. Unallocated corporate assets, included in reconciling items as of September 30, 2024 and 2025 amounted to ¥1,399,039 million and ¥919,514 million, respectively, which consist primarily of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  Impact of changes in EV market environment

Due to the slowdown in the expansion of the electric vehicle (EV) market in regions such as North America and Europe, Honda has been experiencing impacts including lower EV sales units and higher sales incentives per unit than initially expected. Furthermore, following the United States government policy shifts, including the abolition of tax incentives for EV purchases and the easing of emissions regulations, as well as the imposition of import tariffs, the growth of the EV market in the United States is expected to slow down even further. Due to the recent EV market slowdown, the Honda global EV sales ratio in 2030 is now expected to be 20%, lower than the previously announced target of 30%.

As part of the revision to the product launch plan to address the changes in the market condition, Honda decided to cancel a certain EV model development, and discontinue and reduce manufacturing of EV models jointly developed under a certain alliance agreement.

As a result, for the six months ended September 30, 2025, the Company and its certain subsidiaries recognized losses and expenses of ¥139,888 million in cost of sales, ¥8,130 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, and ¥89,245 million in research and development expenses in the condensed consolidated statements of income. These losses and expenses are included in Automobile business. The breakdown of these losses and expenses is as follows.

- Additional provisions of ¥99,744 million related to the onerous contract under the alliance agreement, primarily due to a shift in the United States government policy, including the imposition of tariffs, the abolition 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. For further details, see note “(8) Provisions”.

- Impairment losses of ¥80,741 million recognized for the entire carrying amount of property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and other non-current assets related to the discontinued EV model such as product specific equipment and capitalized development costs.

- Losses of ¥56,778 million from the disposal of the intangible assets due to the cancellation of development for a specific EV model.

For the contingent liability related to the alliance agreement described above, see note “(11) Contingent Liabilities”.

Total		¥	1,055,715			¥	1,113,577

Explanatory note:

*1 Honda recognizes provisions for product warranties to cover future product warranty expenses. Honda recognizes costs for general warranties on products Honda sells and for specific warranty programs, including product recalls.

(i) Honda recognizes general estimated warranty costs at the time products are sold to customers and estimates based on historical warranty claim experience with consideration given to the expected level of future warranty costs, including current sales trends, the expected number of units to be affected and the estimated average repair cost per unit for warranty claims.

(ii) Honda recognizes specific estimated warranty program costs as follows.

Honda accrues the provisions comprehensively for specific warranty programs of automobile products manufactured at our major production bases at the time of vehicle sales.

The estimated specific warranty costs are measured by the number of units sold over the past fiscal years and specific warranty cost per unit expected to be incurred (specific warranty cost per unit) after vehicle sales over their product life based on our historical experience. Expected specific warranty cost per unit is calculated based on the actual warranty costs incurred over specific range of past periods such as the average useful product life. This estimate is inherently uncertain as it is based on our historical experience as described above. Consequently, the actual specific warranty cost per unit may differ from the expected cost per unit and result in adjustments to the provisions in future reporting periods. The difference from estimated specific warranty cost per unit can be primarily driven by actual repair costs such as parts and labor.

In addition to the provisions comprehensively accrued, estimates of certain warranty program costs are individually made when it is deemed appropriate by considering its nature and magnitude of each program. Honda recognizes those provisions 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. The provisions are estimated based on the expected level of future warranty costs, including the expected number of units to be affected and the estimated repair cost per unit for warranty claims.

Honda also accrues the provisions individually for specific warranty programs of our products manufactured at our production bases other than major automobile production bases.

Provisions for (i) and (ii) product warranties are utilized for expenditures based on the demand from customers and dealers. A portion of the product warranties is expected to be reimbursed by agreement with suppliers. The amount of expected reimbursement is ¥110,983 million as of September 30, 2025.

*2 Other provisions include the provision for the onerous contract under an alliance agreement. Provisions for the onerous contract as of April 1, 2025, and September 30, 2025, are ¥52,199 million and ¥140,648 million, respectively.

The Company has a long-term supply agreement for EV models jointly developed with an alliance partner. Provisions are recognized and measured as onerous contracts when the unavoidable costs of meeting the obligations under a contract exceed the economic benefits expected to be received under it.

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, Honda recorded additional provisions of ¥99,744 million for the onerous contract. This increase was primarily driven by a shift in the United States government policy, including the imposition of tariffs, the abolition 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. The amounts of write-offs, reversal and other changes were not material.

(9) Sales Revenue

As stated in Note 4, Honda discloses segment information in four categories.

The sales revenue disaggregated by geographical markets based on the location of the customer and the reconciliation of the disaggregated revenue with each segment for the six months ended September 30, 2024 and 2025 are as follows:

(10) Fair Value

(a) Definition of Fair Value Hierarchy

Honda uses a three-level hierarchy when measuring fair value. The following is a description of the three hierarchy levels:

Level 1		Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date
Level 2		Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly
Level 3		Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities

The level in the fair value hierarchy within which a fair value measurement in its entirety falls is based on the lowest input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Honda recognizes the transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy at the end of the reporting period during which the change has occurred.

(b) Method of Fair Value Measurement

The fair values of assets and liabilities are determined based on relevant market information and through the use of an appropriate valuation method.

The measurement methods and assumptions used in the measurement of assets and liabilities are as follows:

(Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and trade payables)

The fair values approximate their carrying amounts due to their short-term maturities.

(Receivables from financial services)

The fair value of receivables from financial services is measured primarily by discounting future cash flows using the current interest rates applicable for these receivables of similar remaining maturities. Fair value measurement for receivables from financial services is classified as Level 3.

(Debt securities)

Debt securities consist mainly of mutual funds, corporate bonds, local bonds and auction rate securities.

The fair value of mutual funds with an active market is measured by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for mutual funds with an active market is classified as Level 1.

The fair values of corporate bonds and local bonds are measured based on proprietary pricing models provided by specialists and/or market makers and the models obtain a wide array of market observable inputs such as credit ratings and discount rates. Fair value measurements for corporate bonds and local bonds are classified as Level 2.

HONDA MOTOR CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Condensed Consolidated Interim Financial Statements

The subsidiary’s auction rate securities are A to AAA rated and are insured by qualified guarantee agencies, and reinsured by the Secretary of Education and the United States government, and guaranteed at approximately 95% by the United States government. To measure fair value of auction rate securities, Honda uses a third-party-developed valuation model which obtains a wide array of market observable inputs, as well as unobservable inputs including probability of passing or failing auction at each auction. Fair value measurement for auction rate securities is classified as Level 3.

(Equity securities)

The fair value of equity securities with an active market is measured by using quoted market prices. Fair value measurement for equity securities with an active market is classified as Level 1.

The fair value of equity securities with no active market is measured mainly by using a discounted cash flow method, a comparable company valuation method and other appropriate valuation methods. Fair value measurement for equity securities with no active market is classified as Level 3. In addition, in the case that cost represents the best estimate of fair value, fair value for the equity securities with no active market is measured at cost.

Cash flow forecasts and discount rate for the discounted cash flow model and price book-value ratio (PBR) of a comparable company for the comparable company valuation method are used as significant unobservable inputs in the fair value measurement of equity securities classified as Level 3. The fair value increases (decreases) as Cash flow forecasts increase (decrease), discount rate declines (rises) and PBR of a comparable company rises (declines). Such fair value measurements are conducted in accordance with the group accounting policy approved by the appropriate person of authority and based upon valuation methods determined by personnel in accounting divisions of Honda.

(Derivatives)

Derivatives consist mainly of foreign currency forward exchange contracts, foreign currency option contracts, currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements.

The fair values of foreign currency forward exchange contracts and foreign currency option contracts are measured by using market observable inputs such as spot exchange rates, discount rates and implied volatility. The fair values of currency swap agreements and interest rate swap agreements are measured by discounting future cash flows using market observable inputs such as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. Fair value measurements for these derivatives are classified as Level 2.

The credit risk of the counterparties is considered in the valuation of derivatives.

(Financing liabilities)

The fair value of financing liabilities is measured by discounting future cash flows using interest rates currently available for liabilities of similar terms and remaining maturities. Fair value measurement of financing liabilities is mainly classified as Level 2.

(11) Contingent Liabilities

Claims and Lawsuits

Honda is subject to potential liability under various lawsuits and claims. Honda recognizes a provision for loss contingencies 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. Honda reviews these pending lawsuits and claims periodically and adjusts the amounts recognized for these contingent liabilities, if necessary, by considering the nature of lawsuits and claims, the progress of the case and the opinions of legal counsel.

With respect to product liability, personal injury claims or lawsuits, Honda believes that any judgment that may be recovered by any plaintiff for general and special damages and court costs will be adequately covered by Honda’s insurance and provision. Punitive damages are claimed in certain of these lawsuits.

After consultation with legal counsel, and taking into account all known factors pertaining to existing lawsuits and claims, Honda believes that the ultimate outcome of such lawsuits and pending claims should not result in liability to Honda that would be likely to have an adverse material effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.

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 arises, 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.

Contingent liabilities related to certain alliance agreements

As part of Honda’s automobile electrification strategies, Honda has entered into alliance agreements with third parties involving joint development, parts procurement, and products purchases. These alliances may result in additional losses or expenses where unforeseen factors arise, such as lower than expected sales volumes or rising costs. In estimating the likelihood and the amount of potential losses or expenses, it is necessary to consider the progress of negotiation, as certain provisions in the relevant agreements were unclear. However, due to high levels of uncertainty regarding the amount and timing of certain contingent liabilities, Honda is currently unable to estimate the potential exposure with sufficient reliability.

FAQ

How did Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (HMC) perform financially for the six months ended September 30, 2025?

For the six months ended September 30, 2025, Honda reported consolidated sales revenue of ¥10,632.6 billion, down 1.5% year-on-year. Operating profit fell to ¥438.1 billion, a decline of 41.0%. Profit before income taxes was ¥527.4 billion, and profit attributable to owners of the parent decreased to ¥311.8 billion, leading to basic EPS of ¥76.30.

What were the main reasons for Honda HMC’s decline in operating profit?

The drop in operating profit to ¥438.1 billion was driven mainly by changes in the electric vehicle market environment and tariff impacts, particularly in North America and Europe. Honda recorded significant EV-related charges within the Automobile business, including ¥139,888 million in cost of sales, ¥8,130 million in SG&A, and ¥89,245 million in R&D linked to canceling and scaling back certain EV models and recognizing an onerous alliance contract.

How did Honda’s Motorcycle and Automobile businesses perform in this interim period?

The Motorcycle business saw external sales revenue rise 6.1% to ¥1,920.7 billion, with operating profit up 13.0% to ¥368.2 billion on higher consolidated unit sales. The Automobile business experienced a 1.8% decline in external sales revenue to ¥6,859.4 billion and recorded an operating loss of ¥73.0 billion, mainly due to EV-market and tariff impacts despite some positive price and cost effects.

What changes did Honda announce regarding its electric vehicle strategy and targets?

Honda disclosed that, due to a slowdown in EV market expansion and policy shifts such as the abolition of EV purchase tax incentives and the easing of emissions regulations in the United States, it revised its EV plans. The company now expects its global EV sales ratio in 2030 to be 20%, below the previously announced 30% target. Honda also decided to cancel development of a specific EV model and to discontinue or reduce manufacturing of certain jointly developed EV models.

How strong was Honda’s cash flow and liquidity as of September 30, 2025?

Net cash provided by operating activities increased sharply to ¥365.8 billion from ¥68.7 billion a year earlier, supported by higher collections on financial services receivables and lower payments for parts and raw materials. Net cash used in investing activities was ¥356.7 billion, and net cash provided by financing activities was ¥99.4 billion. Cash and cash equivalents stood at ¥4,677.9 billion as of September 30, 2025.

What dividends did Honda HMC pay or approve for this period?

How did Honda’s balance sheet change during the six months ended September 30, 2025?

Total assets increased from ¥30,775.9 billion as of March 31, 2025 to ¥31,491.2 billion as of September 30, 2025, mainly reflecting growth in receivables from financial services and equipment on operating leases.
