Mazda projected a nearly ¥145.2 billion (approximately $987 million) operating profit decline this fiscal year due to U.S. auto import tariffs. The company is redrawing logistics, boosting output in U.S.-based plants, and trimming production to reduce export exposure 


Without mitigation efforts, the potential profit loss could reach ¥233.5 billion. Mazda aims to limit exposure by shifting more production to its Alabama facility and adjusting shipment routes to bypass high-duty exports from Japan
