Toyo Tire has reported a record-high net profit of 74.8 billion yen for the year 2024, marking a 4% increase from the previous year. The announcement, made on Friday in Kobe, Japan, revealed that the company's performance exceeded its initial forecast of a 17% decline to 60 billion yen. This surge in profit has been attributed to robust tire sales in the United States and a favorable exchange rate due to the weak yen.
The financial report indicates that Toyo Tire's profits were significantly boosted by the U.S. market, reflecting the company's strategic focus on international sales. The weaker yen also played a crucial role, adding approximately 10 billion yen to the company's profits for the year. The exchange rate at the time equated to $491 million for the reported 74.8 billion yen profit, underscoring the strong performance in foreign currency terms.
MUNEMASA HORIO reported these impressive financial results, highlighting Toyo Tire's ability to outperform its own projections despite initial expectations of a downturn. The anticipated decrease was notably overturned, demonstrating the company's resilience and adaptability in an unpredictable economic landscape.
