It only overtook GM in 2008 after the US firm had held the position for decades.<\/p>\n<p>The maker of the Pruis hybrid said first-half net profit tumbled 71.8 percent from a year earlier due to the impact of the March earthquake and tsunami on production, and as a strong yen made its exports less competitive.<\/p>\n<p>On a consolidated basis, net income for Toyota&#8217;s fiscal first half from April to September fell to 81.5 billion yen ($1.04 billion at current rates) from 289.1 billion yen a year earlier. Sales fell 17.2 percent to 8.0 trillion yen.<\/p>\n<p>It swung to an operating loss of 32.6 billion yen for the six-month period, compared with a year-earlier profit of 323.1 billion yen.<\/p>\n<p>Global sales of cars, trucks and buses fell 18.5 percent between April 1 and September 30, Toyota said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In Japan and North America, vehicle sales decreased severely compared to the same period last fiscal year due to the large impact of the Great East Japan Earthquake,&#8221; executive vice president Satoshi Ozawa said in a statement.<\/p>\n<p>In the July-September period, Toyota said net profit fell 18.5 percent to 80.4 billion yen as it grappled with the residual effects of the quake on sales and a yen that surged to post-World War II highs versus the dollar.<\/p>\n<p>The yen has also scaled 10-year highs versus the euro in recent months, eroding the repatriated profits of automakers such as Toyota and making their domestically made products less competitive when exported.<\/p>\n<p>The unit has remained high despite attempts by Japan to weaken it through conducting yen-selling market interventions, raising questions as to whether exporters such as automakers should shift more production abroad.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota is seen by ratings agencies as the most exposed among Japan&#8217;s big three automakers to currency movements and has fewer near-term options to offset the negative impact of a stronger yen.<\/p>\n<p>Given its established manufacturing presence in Japan, shifting production overseas would take time and be difficult to implement, they say.<\/p>\n<p>The yen has strengthened to levels that could &#8220;collapse&#8221; Japan&#8217;s export-led economy, Satoshi Ozawa, a Toyota executive vice president, said at a press conference.<\/p>\n<p>Toyota has pledged to maintain a domestic production volume of 3 million vehicles a year, but is now looking to reduce its ratio of exports to 50 percent from the current 57 percent, he added.<\/p>\n<p>The results compare unfavourably with those of closest Japanese rival Nissan, whose recovery has outpaced that of Toyota and Honda.<\/p>\n<p>Nissan last week posted a first half net profit of 183.4 billion yen, down 12 percent on-year, but lifted its full-year net profit forecast.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The gap between Toyota and Nissan has narrowed, with Nissan now having more profitability than Toyota,&#8221; said Tatsuya Mizuno from Mizuno Credit Advisory.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Toyota&#8217;s overall market position has been weakening, both in developed countries like the United States and in the emerging markets.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;More so than the impact of the quake and the Thai floods, Toyota&#8217;s basic market position has changed negatively.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Shares in Toyota Motor fell 1.68 percent to 2,503 in Tokyo trade ahead of the earnings announcement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TOKYO, Nov 8 &#8211; Japan&#8217;s biggest automaker Toyota on Tuesday said first half net profit tumbled on the impact of the March earthquake on production and sales, as a strong yen continued to dent profitability.
