HIGHLIGHTS

 

Top-ranked mfr of PC printers & cameras, with LBP (laser beam printers) accounting for 60% of market share.  Strength placed on multimedia equipment such as digital cameras, printer, copiers and scanners.  Top-class mfr of copiers & inkjet printers.  Advancing to large display SEDs (surface conduction electron-emitter display).  Now all-embracing producer of visual image, LCDs, etc.  Leads others in multi-internalization.  Overseas sales ratio high.  Known as high cash flow management.  In display business, tied up with Toshiba Corp.  In March 2010, acquired a high-speed printer maker OCE NV of the Netherlands.  The firm plans to start operations at its printer plant in Thailand in Oct 2011, and will expand the digital camera in Chiba in Dec 2011 term in response to demand in Asia.  It also plans to broaden the lineup of entry models by launching the “X5” and “X50” digital cameras.

           

 

FINANCIAL INFORMATION

 

The sales volume for Dec/2010 fiscal term amounted to Yen 3,706,901 million, a 15.5% up from Yen 3,209,201 million in the previous term.  Sales of SRL cameras & photocopiers, the two mainlines, posted double-digit growth, mainly in China.  Orders of semiconductor lithography equipment also recovered.   Production efficiency improved on the strength of increased automated equipment.  By Divisions; Office Div up 20.8% to Yen 1,987,300 million; Consumer Div up 6.9% to Yen 1,391,300 million; Industrial Equipment Div up 20.9% to Yen 433,000 million.  The recurring profit was posted at Yen 392,863 million and the net profit at Yen 246,603 million, respectively, compared with Yen 219,355 million recurring profit and Yen 131,647 million net profit, respectively, a year ago..

 

(Jan/Mar/2011 results): Sales Yen 839,191 million (up 11.1%) operating profit Yen 82,502 million (down 5.0%), recurring profit Yen 82,032 million (down 7.7%) net profit Yen 55,462 million (down 2.4%).  (% compared with the corresponding period a year ago).  Sales grew 11% driven by srong sales of monochrome copiers in emerging nations as well as robust growth in sales of office equipment.  Sales of compact cameras grew steadily in Asia and Russia.  The firm adds the Great East Japan Earthquake caused delays in production and shipments of cameras and copiers, which weighed on revenue.

 

For the current term ending Dec 2011 the recurring profit is projected at Yen 330,000 million and the net profit at 220,000 million, respectively, on a 0.6% rise in turnover, to Yen 3,730,000 million.  The firm cuts its earnings outlook for the full year, citing the impact from the March 11 earthquake and continued disruption to supply chains.  Canon’s results and outlook suggest that earnings in the Japanese electronics industry are likely to show a strong impact from the massive disaster.  Like many of its peers, Canon temporarily suspended its plants in quake-hit areas, while a shortage of parts also forces suspensions of plants far away from the quake zone.  All of the company’s plants have since resumed operations, at least partially, but worries remain over supplies of parts & materials

 

The financial situation is considered FAIR TO GOOD (even to EXCELLENT) and responsible for ORDINARY business engagements.  Max credit limit is estimate at Yen 113,066.0 million, 30 days normal terms.
