Overnight, Nissan announced a net loss of ¥670.9 billion (A$7.1 billion) throughout the 2024 Japanese financial year (April 2024 to March 2025), a staggering loss of ¥1.097 trillion (A$11.5 billion) compared to the financial year prior.
While Nissan had previously said that it would lay off 9000” employees and close three factories to stem the flow of cash being burned, new CEO Ivan Espinosa now says seven factories will be closed, and 20,000 members of its 133,000-strong workforce will be made redundant.
Perubahan ini akan terjadi pada bulan Maret 2028, dan diproyeksikan akan menghasilkan pengurangan biaya sebesar ¥250 miliar (A$2,62 miliar) dan menghasilkan penghematan biaya tetap dan biaya variabel sebesar ¥250 miliar (A$5,24 miliar) dibandingkan dengan tahun keuangan terakhir.
“In the face of challenging FY24 performance and rising variable costs, compounded by an uncertain environment, we must prioritise self-improvement with greater urgency and speed, aiming for profitability that relies less on volume,” Espinosa said while announcing the Re:Nissan recovery plan.
“As new management, we are taking a prudent approach to reassess our targets and actively seek every possible opportunity to implement and ensure a robust recovery. Re:Nissan is an action-based recovery plan clearly outlines what we need to do now.
“All employees are committed to working together as a team to implement this plan, with the goal of returning to profitability by fiscal year 2026.”
While Nissan has a product roadmap until March 2027, it’s pulling resources from working on later projects to focus on its immediate future.
Nissan akan meluncurkan Patrol baru, Navara baru, kendaraan listrik Leaf generasi ketiga, SUV listrik Ariya, dan Qashqai e-Power hibrida di Australia pada bulan Maret 2027, namun dengan masa depan merek yang dipertanyakan, masih belum jelas apa yang akan terjadi setelah itu.
Meskipun sebagian besar pengumuman berfokus pada keseriusan situasi keuangan Nissan, produsen mobil ini menyinggung beberapa model yang akan datang yang akan menjadi inti dari fokusnya dalam memangkas waktu pengembangan.
Ini termasuk Nissan Skyline baru, sebuah SUV berukuran sedang untuk pasar global, dan sebuah SUV kecil untuk merek mewah Infiniti.
Despite its dire global position, Nissan continues to track strongly in Australia, though its sales have dipped by 16.5 per cent this year so far.
