TOKYO (AP) Japanese automaker Nissan sank into a 115.8 billion yen ($782 million) loss for April-June, but promised Wednesday to return to profitability later this year.
Nissan Motor Corp. did not give a full year net profit forecast. It recorded a 28.6 billion yen profit during the April-June quarter last year.
Quarterly sales for the current fiscal year slipped nearly 10% to 2.7 trillion yen ($18 billion).
The maker of the Leaf electric car and Infiniti luxury models said the results were better than expected.
But it faces headwinds, including declining sales, unfavorable exchange rates and President Donald Trumps tariffs.
Ivan Espinosa, who took the helm at Nissan in April replacing Makoto Uchida, said the companys recovery plan remained urgent. Uchida stepped down to take responsibility for the dismal fiscal results.
Espinosa noted the initial steps of the companys revival plan were kicking in, including cutting costs, realigning products, reshaping a market strategy and strengthening partnerships.
We must now go further and faster to achieve profitability. Everyone at Nissan is united in delivering a recovery that will ensure a sustainable and profitable future, he said.
Nissan, based in the port city of Yokohama, has been struggling but is promising a turnaround under Espinosa, a Mexican with two decades of experience at Nissan.
The company said some of its models, such as the N7 in China and the Magnite in Mexico, have been selling well recently.
Nissan recently ditched talks with Japanese rival Honda Motor Co. to set up a joint holding company. They said they will continue to cooperate on technology development.
Nissan is closing its flagship factory in Oppama, Japan, outside Tokyo, by the end of the 2027 fiscal year, moving production there to another plant in southwestern Japan.
Nissan is also slashing 15% of its global work force, or about 20,000 employees. That includes a 9,000 head count reduction announced late last year.

东京（美联社）——日本汽车制造商日产公司4月至6月期间陷入1158亿日元（约合7.82亿美元）的亏损，但该公司于周三承诺将在今年晚些时候恢复盈利。
日产汽车公司未公布全年净利润预测。该公司去年4月至6月季度录得286亿日元利润。
本财年季度销售额下滑近10%，降至2.7万亿日元（约合180亿美元）。
日产汽车公司（旗下拥有聆风（Leaf）电动车和英菲尼迪（Infiniti）豪华车型）表示，业绩表现超出预期。
但它正面临多重“逆风”，包括销售额下滑、汇率不利以及美国总统唐纳德·特朗普实施的关税政策。
4月接替内田诚（Makoto Uchida）出任日产汽车CEO的伊万·埃斯皮诺萨（Ivan Espinosa）表示，公司的复苏计划仍迫在眉睫。内田诚因糟糕的财务业绩引咎辞职。
埃斯皮诺萨指出，公司复兴计划的初步措施已开始见效，包括削减成本、调整产品线、重塑市场战略以及加强合作伙伴关系。
他表示：“我们必须以更快速度、更大力度实现盈利目标。日产全体员工正团结一致推动业务复苏，以确保未来发展的可持续性与盈利能力。”
总部位于横滨港市的日产汽车虽处境艰难，但在拥有二十年日产工作经验的墨西哥人埃斯皮诺萨（Espinosa）领导下，公司有望实现逆转。
该公司表示，旗下部分车型近期销量表现亮眼，例如在中国市场的N7和墨西哥市场的Magnite。
日产汽车近日终止了与日本竞争对手本田汽车公司关于成立合资控股公司的谈判。双方表示将继续在技术研发领域保持合作。
日产汽车将于2027财年底关闭位于东京郊外追滨的旗舰工厂，并将该厂生产业务转移至日本西南部的另一家工厂。
日产汽车还将全球裁员15%，约2万人。其中包括去年底宣布的9000人裁员计划。
