Subaru reported a second‑quarter operating profit of ¥73.4 billion. The increase was driven by lower warranty costs and currency gains, which helped offset higher incentives, rising material costs and a 10 percent decline in U.S. sales. The company’s earnings reflect a mix of cost savings and favorable exchange movements amid a challenging sales environment.
