Management Discussion and Analysis of OperationsOverviewDuring the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (fiscal 2018), while the global economy was on a recovery trend overall, the effects of trade issues and currency depreciation in emerging markets were accompanied by a rise in U.S. interest rates that manifested in the latter part of the year. In developed markets, economic growth was seen in the U.S. due to the increase in the number of employees, improvement in corporate earnings, and other factors. The economy recovered moderately in Japan, while in Europe the economy slowed down. In emerging markets, economic growth continued in Vietnam and India, while in Brazil the economy recovered moderately. In Indonesia, despite the economic expansion due to strong domestic demand, the economy was destabilized by currency depreciation and natural disasters.Against this backdrop, the Company’s consolidated net sales for the fiscal year under review rose ¥3.0 billion, or 0.2%, year on year, to ¥1,673.1 billion, operating income declined ¥9.0 billion, or 6.0%, to ¥140.8 billion, ordinary income declined ¥16.9 billion, or 10.9%, to ¥138.0 billion, and net income attributable to owners of parent declined ¥8.2 billion, or 8.1%, to ¥93.4 billion.Sales Performance by Business SegmentMotorcyclesNet sales declined ¥23.0 billion, or 2.2%, year on year, to ¥1,022.2 billion, and operating income declined ¥14.3 billion, or 20.8%, year on year, to ¥54.5 billion.
