TOKYO, May 14 (Reuters) - Honda Motor posted its first annual loss in nearly 70 years as a listed company on Thursday, hit by U.S. tariffs and heavy costs to restructure its electric-vehicle business.
Its operating loss totalled 414.3 billion yen ($2.63 billion) for the year ended March, compared with a median estimate of a 315.6 billion yen loss in a poll of 22 analysts by LSEG and a 1.2 trillion yen profit a year earlier.
