The results showed operating profit fell 48.5% to 195.53 billion yen ($1.78 billion) in the year ended in March.
For the year through March 2020, Subaru expects operating profit to rise 260 billion yen.

Subaru has suffered recent setbacks involving underlying costs related to production delays, after the discovery of a defective steering component stopped output.
The setbacks put production behind schedule in Japan for two weeks in early 2019.
Costs related to vehicle recalls in Japan also set the company back, after it admitted to cheating on domestic quality inspections. US sales took a hit after the scandal.
