In the Japanese domestic market in the first quarter of 2015, due to the increase in the consumption tax, the sales volume of Bridgestone passenger car and truck and passenger car tires both declined compared with the same period of last year, and maintained steady growth in the North American market; while in the Chinese market, Laststone’s sales of passenger car tires increased in the last quarter, but card and passenger car tire sales declined significantly.
