Toyota projects 1st ever operating loss for year

Sent from Express News
NAGOYA, Japan - Toyota Motor Corp. slashed its earnings forecast again Monday, projecting that it would report its first operating loss ever for the fiscal year through March on waning global demand and a surging yen.

"The change that has hit the world economy is of a critical scale that comes once in a hundred years," President Katsuaki Watanabe said at the company's Nagoya office. The drop in vehicle sales over the last month was "far faster, wider and deeper than expected."
