Unit Standard 9685 Nissan continues its quest to optimize product development and deliver highly innovative technology. Today, in various countries and regions around the world, we enjoy a stellar reputation for creating truly innovative vehicles and service programs. Nissan Sales and Production History: This is information about Nissan¶s Global sales volume during Financial year 2005. As you can examine in the graph shown; the sales of previous years was not at that high level, but global sales was increasing. Financial year 2005 was a year of transition for Nissan with challenges, including a fiercely competitive environment. However, Nissan showed its fighting spirit and lived up to those challenges.

Financial Performace of Nissan: In Financial year 2005 ended March 31, 2006, total demand for automobiles in the Japan market (including mini cars) increased by 0.7% from the previous year, to 5,860,000 units. Total automotive exports from Japan (including mini cars) increased by 5.6% from the previous year, to 5,250,000 units. In Financial year 2006, Nissan¶s global sales totaled 3,483,000 units, a decrease of 2.4% from the previous year. Around the world, 10 all-new models were introduced²including an all-new version of the Altima, Nissan¶s volume leader in the U.S.; the new-generation G35, Infiniti¶s volume leader; and Livina Geniss, the first model in a new family of global cars that we are launching first in China. But with only one new model introduced in the first half, these successful launches came late in the financial year and did not offset the declines experienced in our older product lines. In the General Overseas Markets, including Mexico and Canada, sales increased 5.1% to 1,168,000 units. China led the way with a 22.2% increase to 363,000 units. In Financial year 2007, Nissan released 11 all-new models globally and successfully. Outstanding models included the GT-R supercar, Rogue and Infiniti G37 Coupe. Global sales came to 3.77 million units, up 8.2% over financial year 2006. In Financial year 2007, Nissan launched 10 important technologies, including: The advanced Variable Valve Event & Lift engine technology, which reduces CO2 emissions and Improves torque output by 10%; Pop-up engine hood technology, which minimizes the impact to a pedestrian¶s head by lifting the engine hood in the event of a collision; Around View Monitor technology, offering the driver a bird¶s-eye view of the vehicle and its surroundings in real-time; and The Lane Departure Warning System, which helps the driver to stay inside the lane. 5
Unit Standard 9685 Financial year 2008 sales results came to 3.411 million units, down 9.5% year-on-year. Nissan had market share gains in North America and China, but losses in Japan and Europe, so overall global market share was stable at 5.5%. Eight all-new models were launched globally in financial year 2008, including the new 370Z and Cube, and there were more than 14 regional product launches. In the General Overseas Markets, sales grew 7.1% to 1.136 million units. In China four new models contributed to record-high sales of 545,000 units. Nissan introduced 11 important new technologies, including a clean diesel engine for lower CO2 emissions that meet the world¶s most stringent emissions regulation, an ultra-low precious metal catalyst for lower costs and cleaner emissions, and the new STAR WINGS smart route-guidance navigation system in China. Financial year 2009 sales amounted to 3.515 million units, a 3% increase year-on-year. Nissan either maintained or increased its market share in Japan, Europe and the United States, and sales increased substantially in China. Eight all-new models were launched globally, including the new March/Micra, the first in Nissan¶s global compact car series.

Unit Standard 9685 According to the details of financial figures and graphs over last five years showed above; In financial year 2005, Nissan¶s consolidated net revenues came to 9.43 trillion yen, which represented an increase of 9.9% from the prior year. The increase was due primarily to favorable movements in foreign exchange rates and changes in the scope of consolidation. Consolidated operating profits improved by 1.2% to a record 871.8 billion yen. As a percentage of net revenue, the operating profit margin was 9.2%, which remains at the top level among global automakers. In Financial year 2006, Nissan has changed its consolidation methods to be in line with auto industry standards. As previously stated, in order to increase transparency and consistency, Nissan is harmonizing calendar-year results for overseas subsidiaries such as Europe and Mexico with financial-year results for Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. The exception is China and Taiwan where this is precluded by regulations. To align calendar with financial, Nissan included five quarters of results for subsidiaries previously consolidated on a calendar-year basis. This will have a 21.4 billion yen one time positive impact on our operating profit. As a result, Nissan will officially report consolidated net revenues at 10 trillion 468.6 billion yen, with the inclusion of 767.6 billion yen of fifth-quarter results from calendar-year subsidiaries. In Financial year 2007, Nissan¶s consolidated net revenues were 10.8242 trillion yen, up 11.6% versus the prior year. Consolidated operating profit was 790.8 billion yen, compared to 755.5 billion yen in financial 2006, up 4.7%. As a percentage of net revenue, the operating profit margin came to 7.3%. Net income reached 482.3 billion yen, up 7.4%, compared to 449.2 billion yen in financial year 2006. Nissan had a net cash position of 180.3 billion yen at the close of financial 2007 and generated free cash flow of 456.7 billion yen. (Note: FY2006 excluding five quarters.) At the annual shareholders¶ meeting, the company will propose a 20-yen-per-share year-end dividend for shareholders, giving a full-year dividend of 40 yen per share, as initially planned. In Financial year 2008, consolidated net revenues decreased 22.1%, to 8.437 trillion yen, due mainly to the negative impacts of volume and mix, foreign exchange and accounting changes. Consolidated operating profit totaled a negative 137.9 billion yen, due mainly to yen appreciation, the inventory adjustment linked to total industry volume declines in all major markets and the full-year impact of raw material cost increases. Net income was a negative 233.7 billion yen. At the end of December 2008, Nissan¶s net automotive debt totaled 783.5 billion yen. Positive free cash in the fourth quarter led to a halving of net debt, to 387.9 billion yen. Given the company¶s declining profitability, as announced at the end of the third quarter, the company will not propose a yearend dividend to its shareholders, resulting in a full-year dividend of 11 yen per share. In Financial year 2009, consolidated net revenues decreased 10.9%, to 7.517 trillion yen, primarily driven by the effect of the strong yen. Consolidated operating profit totaled 311.6 billion yen. Net income reached 42.4 billion yen. The company will not propose a year-end dividend to its shareholders, resulting in no dividend for the full year. Conclusion: Nissan will continue to develop its existing assets, and the company¶s strategic vision also takes into account four key trends that are influencing the global auto industry: the growing influence of emerging markets, the demand for very affordable transportation, growing environmental awareness and the recent acceleration in consolidation among automakers. Nissan is preparing for the rise of emerging markets:

Production capacity in China is being boosted with the expansion of the Zhengzhou and Huadu plants. In Russia, products will be introduced into the St. Petersburg factory as the Russian market recovers. Nissan continues to enjoy a competitive advantage through its partnership with Renault in the Alliance, which is now in its 11th year. The Renault-Nissan Alliance continues to be at the center of Nissan strategy, even as collaborations are developed with other automakers. Partnerships help Nissan use scale effectively, execute strategies efficiently and realize more opportunities than the company could ever achieve on its own. Nissan will continue developing its advanced technologies. 15 new technologies will be commercialized in financial year 2010.
