Toyota reports record profit in Q2

Net income also increased 10 percent to $5.34 billion, and the booming result was a new quarterly record for the automaker, according to CNN Money. In the earnings announcement, Toyota Managing Officer Tetsuya Otake suggested "favorable foreign exchange rates and cost reduction efforts" as reasons for the success.

Deliveries fell in most of company's major markets, including in Asia, Europe, and in Japan itself. North America bucked that trend, though, and sales jumped to 728,813 units, an 18,404-vehicle improvement. Operating income on this continent also grew to $1.25 billion.

Toyota is also revising its global sales forecast upward to 8.95 million vehicles, compared to 8.9 million previously. Net income is also expected to grow to $19.2 billion. In the last fiscal year, the automaker delivered around 9 million units and posted a net income of 18.1 billion.
