It recently increased its industry-leading market share from 45.2 percent to 45.9 percent in the same period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>TMP, part of the Ty family conglomerate GT Capital Holdings, recorded sales of P106.4 billion during the first half of the year, an increase of 4.5 percent of wholesale volume and 11.5 percent for retail, outpacing the industry\u2019s 9.9 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Management\u2019s view<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe look forward to more positive developments in the remaining months of the year, as the automotive market continues to expand, particularly with the growing acceptance of electrified vehicles,\u201d TMP president Masando Hashimoto said in a statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFurthermore, TMP\u2019s line-up of hybrid electric vehicles directly benefits from recent tariff related measures approved by the government over the past few months. These initiatives, along with the resilient economic landscape and the steady rise of middle income households in the country, are seen to support TMP\u2019s performance for the rest of the year,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sales surged thanks to popular models like the Vios and Wigo, along with new releases like the Zenix, Yaris Cross, and Lexus RX.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Margins under pressure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite strong sales, TMP\u2019s gross profit margin dipped to 14.1 percent due to peso depreciation and supply issues, with operating profit margin also falling to 8.8 percent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Net income dropped by 6.1 percent to P7.5 billion, mainly due to last year\u2019s one-time government incentives and unfavorable exchange rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As of June 30, 2024, TMP owns six dealerships, including Toyota Makati and Lexus Manila in Taguig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>(News Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/insiderph.com\/toyota-philippines-rides-high-on-hybrid-growth-despite-profit-pinch\">InsiderPH<\/a>)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:26px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:16px\"><em><em><em>This report is prepared by PinoyInvestor\u2019s partner broker below.
