Production and Sales Results

Mazda Motor Corporation today reported its production and sales figures for December 2005 and for January through December 2005. During January through December 2005, Mazda's domestic production, domestic sales and exports exceeded the figures from the previous year due to healthy demand for its new generation models and the Mazda3.

Units YoY
Change (%)		 Units YoY
Change (%)
Passenger Cars 22,860 +18.6 207,409 -11.3
Commercial Vehicles 4,854 -46.3 73,807 -10.0
Total 27,714 -2.1 281,216 -10.9
*Overseas production units are calculated based on the parts and component shipments for Mazda brand models to be assembled at overseas production facilities.
(1) December 2005
Overseas production decreased by 2.1% in December 2005, for the first time in two months since October 2005. While the output volume of Mazda6's bound for the US and China increased, this was offset by a decrease in commercial vehicle production. Major destinations were the US (9,600 units, increase of 23.1% compared to December 2004) and China (8,780 units; year-on-year increase of 23.5%).
(2) January through December 2005
For this period, overseas production figures decreased by 10.9%, the first decrease in four years since 2001. While the output volume of Mazda3's bound for Taiwan increased, production adjustments for US-bound Mazda6's (a decrease of 21.3% year-on-year) and a decrease in production of the Titan series for India (decreased by 39.2%) caused an overall decrease compared to the prior year.
