Japanese automaker Toyota Motor on Wednesday reported a second consecutive fall in quarterly profit, as it navigates competition in China and a market shift toward electric vehicles. 

Here are Toyota’s results compared with estimates from analysts, compiled by LSEG.

  • Revenue: 12.39 trillion yen vs. 12.1 trillion yen
  • Operating profit: 1.22 trillion yen vs. 1.39 trillion yen

The world’s largest automaker by sales volume saw a nearly 28% year-on-year drop in operating profit during the quarter ended December.

The results mark Toyota’s second consecutive year over year decline in operating profit after the company saw profit fall 20% year over year in the previous quarter.

Net income attributable to the company, however, jumped to 2.19 trillion yen from 1.36 trillion yen a year ago.

The automaker’s consolidated vehicle sales for its financial third-quarter dropped to 2.44 million from 2.55 million units a year ago.
