For seven consecutive months since August 2005, exports have exceeded the figures from the same period last year, with February 2006 exports up 53.6% over the same month last year. The greatly improved results reflect the increased volumes of new generation models such as the Mazda5, MX-5, Mazda3 and Mazda6, outperforming last year's results for this period. The Mazda5, MX-5, and RX-8 were major contributors to the increase in exports to North America, which reached 19,742 units (an increase of 41.4% compared to February 2005). Europe-bound exports increased to 26,727 units (up 117.2% year-on-year) thanks to increased volumes of the Mazda5, MX-5, Mazda3 and Mazda6 models.

Overseas production units are calculated based on the parts and component shipments for Mazda brand models to be assembled at overseas production facilities.
Overseas production volumes increased for the second consecutive month since January 2006 (+41.5%) due to increased output volume of Mazda6, Mazda3, Mazda5/Premacy, and BT-50 Truck models bound for overseas markets. February 2006 saw Mazda post the highest single month of overseas production unit volume on record. China-bound output volume of the Mazda3 reached 12,612 units (up 88.2%) and Mazda6 units bound for the US decreased to 6,600 units (-13.2% compared to February 2005).
