What the Numbers Show
The actual sales figure of 44,411 units surpassed the estimated 38,800 units by approximately 14.5%, indicating stronger-than-anticipated demand. The disproportionate growth in international business (227%) compared to domestic sales (33%) highlights a widening contribution from overseas markets. While domestic segments like HCV trucks (42%) and SCV cargo (34%) showed robust double-digit growth, the international segment’s more than eight-fold increase suggests a potential shift in revenue concentration or successful penetration into new export territories during this period.
