(Central News Agency reporter Chung Jung-feng, Taipei, May 13) Hotai Motor today announced its first-quarter financial report. Consolidated revenue for the single quarter was NT$71.331 billion, setting the second-highest record for the same period. Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company was NT$4.429 billion, an 11.4% increase compared to the same period in 2025, with earnings per share of NT$7.95.
Hotai Motor explained that in the first quarter, the overall automotive market was affected by uncertainties in tariff policies, leading to a slight decrease in the company's core business sales volume compared to the same period last year, resulting in a slight decline in core business profit. Among these, the combined new car registrations for TOYOTA and LEXUS in the first quarter were 36,400 units, a decrease compared to 41,000 units in the same period last year. The profit growth in the first quarter primarily came from increased investment income from Hotai Insurance.
Hotai Motor's board of directors also resolved today to authorize Chairman Huang Nan-guang to invest in listed company stocks with a total investment amount not exceeding JPY 1.7 billion, with an expected execution period from today until December 31. Hotai Motor stated that relevant investments will be announced separately according to asset acquisition or disposal procedures after the settlement date and amount are confirmed.
