Yamaha Motor Corp. reports record sales and net income

Two U.S. powersports segments — PWC and side-by-sides — were named by Yamaha Motor Corp. as two reasons why the company posted first-half records for revenue and profit.

Yamaha said it has had “favorable” sales of PWC and “significant sales expansion” of side-by-sides in the United States for its first half, which ended June 30.

Overall, Yamaha’s net sales were up 14.4 percent compared to the year-ago period and its net income was up 12.1 percent to $416 million.
