Nissan Motor Co. (TYO:7201) is preparing to replace Chief Executive Officer Makoto Uchida after weak earnings and failed merger talks with Honda (TYO:7267), Bloomberg News reported Thursday, citing sources familiar with the matter.
The company is gauging interest in potential successors, with CFO Jeremie Papin a likely candidate, the news agency noted, citing a report from Japanese publication Diamond.
Uchida, 58, warned of an 80 billion yen net loss for the fiscal year ending March, a sharp reversal from the 380 billion yen profit forecast nine months ago, Bloomberg reported.
Nissan faces record debt due next year, with all major rating agencies downgrading it to junk.
