Honda Motors has reported an 88% plunge in first-quarter profits after the earthquake and tsunami in Japan on 11 March.
Honda said it made a net profit of 31.7 billion yen ($US408 million) compared with 274 billion yen a year earlier.
Production at the carmaker slowed due to a shortage of parts after the twin disasters disrupted its supply chain.
However, in a sign that conditions are improving, Honda raised its full-year earnings forecast by 35%.
