Honda has officially announced the cancellation of development and launch plans for three electric vehicle (EV) models originally scheduled for production in North America. Due to this strategic adjustment and changes in the business environment, Honda expects to face operating losses in the 2026 fiscal year and has revised its performance forecast.
🔹 Loss Projections and Financial Revisions
Honda expects significant deficits in its consolidated financial statements this fiscal year, primarily involving R&D asset write-offs, impairment losses, and additional expenses from canceling vehicle launches. Specific estimates are as follows:
| Loss Category | Estimated Amount (USD) |
| Operating Loss | Approx. $5.47B - $7.47B |
| Equity Method Investment Loss | Approx. $0.73B - $1.00B |
| Special Losses (Non-consolidated) | Approx. $2.27B - $3.80B |
🔹 Strategic Shift Toward Hybrid Technology
In light of slowing EV market growth in the US, changes in subsidy policies, and intensified competition in the Chinese market, Honda has decided to reshape its core advantages. The company will further strengthen its hybrid vehicle lineup, particularly targeting new generation products for key markets including North America, Japan, and India.
🔹 Voluntary Executive Compensation Reduction
Given the significant performance decline, Honda's President and Vice President will forfeit their short-term incentive (STI) bonuses for fiscal year 2026. Combined with partial monthly salary returns, the annual total compensation for executive directors is expected to decrease by 25% - 30% compared to standard levels.
