The positive first half results came on top of a strong second quarter for the automaker. Toyota reported second quarter revenues of JPY5.4 trillion ($68.4bn), up 18.2%, and operating income of JPY340bn ($4.3bn). Net income rose 220% to JPY257.9bn ($3.2bn).

"Despite the yen's appreciation, operating income improved significantly due to the recovery of sales which dropped in the first half of last year and our company-wide profit improvement activities."
