Nissan, on Thursday, reported a net loss of $238 million for the third quarter of the year that ended in December.

This is the biggest loss the automaker has posted since the fourth quarter of 2019, noted earlier by the Financial Times.

Nissan also revised its net profit forecast for the whole year to 65 billion, down 41% from the earlier 110 billion forecasted in November.

The company also announced that it would skip paying the annual year-end dividend to shareholders for 2019.

The turnaround plans of the automaker, already engulfed in a scandal involving former chairman Carlos Ghosn, are further affected by the spread of the novel coronavirus in its largest market, China.

In a statement Wednesday, Nissan said that it is seeking $90 million in damages from Ghosn, who staged a dramatic escape from Japan to Lebanon late last year.
