Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., announced financial results for the third quarter of fiscal year 2008, ending March 31, 2009, as well as for the first nine months. In the third quarter, net revenue was down 34.4% to 1.8165 trillion yen. Nissan's operating loss totaled 99.2 billion yen. The consolidated net loss after tax came to 83.2 billion yen. The loss is driven by the severe downturn in the global economy in the second half of calendar year 2008 and, in particular, the negative impact of the strong yen, the sharp decline in consumer confidence in all major markets and product mix deterioration. Nissan sold a total of 731,000 vehicles worldwide in the October-to-December 2008 period, down 18.6%.

In the April-to-December 2008 period, net revenue fell 14.7% to 6.6858 trillion yen. Operating profit totaled 92.5 billion yen, down 84.0%. Operating profit margin came to 1.4%.

• Consolidated net revenues of 8.3 trillion yen;

Globally, Nissan sold a total of 936,000 vehicles in the April-to-June period, up 6.9% compared to same period in 2007. Growth continues to derive from the General Overseas Markets with sales up by 23.6% to 302,000 units.

Despite an increase in sales volume, Nissan's net revenue fell 4.1% to 2.3473 trillion yen due mainly to the negative impact of foreign exchange rates.

Ordinary profit amounted to 82.5 billion yen, down 45.5%. The consolidated net income after tax totaled 52.8 billion yen, down 42.8%.
