Global vehicle sales rose 3% to 631,000 units.
North America sales were up 9.5% to 199,000 units while Europe sales rose 13.5% to 97,000 units.
But, in China, sales fell 12.2% which the automaker blamed on a slowdown in the Chinese economy and to increasing competition.
The sales forecast for the full fiscal year remains 1.34m units but continuing cost cuts and a weakening of the yen means a hike in the financial forecast. The company now expects an increase its global sales of 20.2% to an estimated JPY2.65bn. Second half ordinary income is pegged at JPY123bn and net profit JPY 100bn Yen (EUR752m).
