Seatbelt Maker Takata Manages Q1 Net Profit

TOKYO, Aug 6 (Reuters) - Japan's Takata Corp, whose air bag inflators are at the centre of a global safety recall, on Thursday said it swung to a net profit in the first quarter due to higher sales in the United States, India and Southeast Asia.

Net profit reached 3 billion yen ($24.05 million) in April-June, compared with the 38.65 billion yen loss of the same period a year earlier.

Takata maintained its net profit forecast for the fiscal year through March at 20 billion yen. ($1 = 124.7400 yen) (Reporting by Minami Funakoshi; Editing by Christopher Cushing)
