Nissan posted a net loss of 285.6 billion yen for the April-to-June quarter, compared with a net profit of 6.4 billion yen in the same period last year.
The carmaker also booked an operating loss of 153.9 billion yen for the April-to-June period, while sales were down 50.5 per cent to 1.17 trillion yen.
“To limit the spread of Covid-19, the company suspended production at manufacturing sites around the world,” the company said in a statement.
“Nissan’s plants have since resumed operations, but face reduced utilization of their capacity due to lower sales. The company’s performance continues to be impacted by the challenging business climate,” it added.
