I. Operating Results and Financial Conditions

2022 Second Quarter in Review

Looking back at the second quarter of 2022, personal consumption maintained a recovery trend, due to easing of restrictions on economic activities. On the other hand, in addition to the global shortage of semiconductors, logistical constraints continued, due to the prolonged Ukraine crisis and lockdowns in China, and inflation accelerated. In the United States, economic recovery continued due to a robust increase in personal consumption and improved employment levels in spite of inflationary pressure. In Europe, although the level of economic activities began to recover to the pre-COVID levels, economic recovery remained moderate due to inflation and supply constraints resulting from the prolonged Ukraine crisis. In China, personal consumption declined due to the restrictions under its Zero-COVID strategy. In other emerging countries, the economy gradually recovered as a result of eased restrictions. In Japan, although the economy recovered mainly in terms of personal consumption as a result of the easing of restrictions, economic recovery was moderate due to inflationary pressure caused by depreciation of yen.

In the markets in which Canon operates, despite the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips and supply chain disruptions, demand remained firm. Demand for office multifunction devices (MFDs) and laser printers continued to recover. For inkjet printers, demand in home use remained solid. For cameras, demand remained solid, mainly in mirrorless cameras and lenses. For medical equipment, demand is approaching to pre-COVID levels in Japan. However, demand mainly for diagnostic imaging unit products recovered in the United States and Europe. High demand for semiconductor lithography equipment in a wide range of products, such as memory and logic, continued amid favorable market conditions. For FPD (Flat Panel Display) lithography equipment, capital investments from panel manufacturers remained solid.

The average value of the yen during the second quarter and the first half of the year was ¥129.68 and ¥123.38 against the U.S. dollar, respectively, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥20 and a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥16, and ¥138.11 and ¥134.39 against the euro, respectively, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥6 and a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥4.

As for the second quarter, despite the ongoing shortage of semiconductor chips and supply chain disruptions due to lockdowns in China, Canon prioritized product supply by maximizing production, which was achieved by switching to alternative parts and developing business with new component suppliers. Net sales for the second quarter increased by 13.3% year-on-year to ¥998.8 billion due to the price adjustment of products and depreciation of the yen. Net sales for the first half of the year increased by 8.9% year-on-year to ¥1,878.1 billion. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales decreased by 0.9 points to 46.5% due to the increase in the ratio of hardware caused by stabilization of production supply including printers, in addition to the increased costs of parts and logistics. However, second-quarter gross profit increased by 11.1% year-on-year to ¥464.0 billion due to the depreciation of the yen mainly. Operating expenses increased by 7.4% year-on-year to ¥365.5 billion as a result of an increase in operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies due to the depreciation of the yen, despite focused expenses to important activities even as sales activities increased. As a result, operating profit increased by 27.4% year-on-year to ¥98.5 billion. Other income (deductions) decreased by ¥21.8 billion year-on-year to a loss of ¥13.3 billion, mainly due to valuation losses on securities and currency exchange losses from liabilities, incurred by intercompany loans, denominated in foreign currencies caused by the intense depreciation of yen in June. As a result, income before income taxes decreased by 0.7% year-on-year to ¥85.2 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. decreased by 3.5% year-on-year to ¥59.0 billion. Operating profit for the first half of the year increased by 18.1% to ¥174.6 billion, while income before income taxes increased by 0.7% to ¥152.9 billion and first-half net income attributable to Canon Inc. decreased by 0.6% to ¥105.0 billion.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥56.85 for the second quarter, a year-on-year decrease of ¥1.63, and ¥100.82 for the first half, a year-on-year decrease of ¥0.17.

Results by Segment

Looking at Canon’s second quarter performance by business unit, in the Printing Business Unit, demand for office MFDs recovered. However, unit sales decreased compared with the previous year due to the shortage of semiconductor chips. Revenue of services and consumables were at the same level compared with the previous year. As for laser printers, unit sales increased significantly compared with the previous year due to stagnant production activities in the previous year in addition to a recovery in demand for office use. For inkjet printers, unit sales of both Cartridge Printers and Refillable Ink Tank Printers far exceeded those of the same period of the previous year due to solid global demand. For equipment in the production printing market, unit sales increased compared with the previous year due to strong sales of the varioPRINT iX series of high-speed sheet-fed color inkjet presses. These factors resulted in total sales for the business unit of ¥567.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15.9%, while income before income taxes increased by 6.9% year-on-year to ¥70.5 billion, due to price adjustment of products despite the increased costs of parts and logistics. As a result, income before income taxes as a percentage of net sales remained high at 12.4%. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥1,072.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 11.8%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥125.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4.1%.

As for the Imaging Business Unit, unit sales of interchangeable-lens digital cameras were below those of the same period of the previous year due to the shortage of products supply. However, unit sales of mirrorless cameras were above those of the same period of the previous year due to strong demand for the full-frame mirrorless cameras including the EOS R5 and EOS R6 and the favorable reviews of the new EOS R7. Unit sales increased significantly owing to strong sales of RF-series interchangeable lenses, which expanded the product lineup. As for network cameras, sales increased significantly mainly as a result of strengthening sales in response to diversifying market needs in addition to the recovery of products supply. As for professional video production equipment, sales of Cinema EOS-series including the new EOS R5 C, professional video cameras and broadcast lenses, were strong. These factors resulted in total sales for the business unit of ¥200.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 18.3%, while income before income taxes increased by 57.5% year-on-year to ¥32.9 billion mainly as a result of improved profitability due to an enhanced product mix. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥358.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12.4%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥46.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.7%.

As for the Medical Business Unit, in spite of a delay for installation due to lockdowns in China, demand for diagnostic imaging unit products is recovering mainly in the United States and Europe, and the sales increased for the eighth consecutive quarter in the United States, where Canon is strengthening sales. These factors resulted in total sales for the business unit of ¥118.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5.8%, while income before income taxes increased by 124.7% year-on-year to ¥8.6 billion as a result of increased service revenue of computed tomography (CT) systems that sold well last year. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥236.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 0.1%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥15.0 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 3.4%.

As for the Industrial and Others Business Unit, regarding semiconductor lithography equipment, unit sales increased compared with the previous year as a result of maximizing production capacity amid strong sales for a wide range of products such as memory and logic. For FPD lithography equipment, unit sales decreased compared with the previous year, when the business unit caught up with delayed equipment installation, although capital investments by panel manufacturers remained solid. For OLED display manufacturing equipment, sales decreased compared with the previous year as panel manufacturers were in the midst of considering investment plans in response to diversifying OLED panel applications. These factors resulted in total sales for the business unit of ¥143.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4.1%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥17.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 9.8% due to cost reduction as a result of mass production of semiconductor lithography equipment and an enhanced product mix. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥269.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 2.6%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥28.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15.4%.

Cash Flow

In the first half of the year, cash flow from operating activities decreased by ¥144.0 billion year-on-year to ¥128.6 billion as a result of higher inventory levels of key components and main products, in response to the shortage of semiconductor chips and logistical constraints, and increased payment of income taxes due to increased taxable income. Cash flow used for investing activities increased by ¥3.0 billion year-on-year to ¥83.4 billion, mainly due to continued capital investment to improve efficiency and productivity and an increase in purchases of securities, despite the increased sales of fixed assets resulting from optimizing a branch office capacity of an overseas sales subsidiary. Accordingly, free cash flow decreased by ¥147.0 billion compared with the previous year to ¥45.2 billion.

Cash flow from financing activities, despite an increase in short-term loans, recorded an outlay of ¥22.5 billion mainly due to repurchases of treasury stock and a dividend payout, which increased ¥15.7 billion year-on-year.

Owing to these factors, as well as the impact from foreign currency exchange adjustments, cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥52.9 billion to ¥454.3 billion from the end of the previous year.

Outlook

The outlook for the global economy from the third quarter onwards is expected to maintain a recovery trend. However, it remains uncertain, with risks such as delays in the supply of semiconductor chips, the constraints in international freight transport due to high demand, the prolonged Ukraine crisis and further acceleration of inflation.

In the markets in which Canon operates, demand for office MFDs and laser printers are expected to remain solid. However, there is a concern that the demand for services and consumables will be affected by the slow recovery in office work. Demand for inkjet printers is expected to remain solid due to increasingly widespread remote work and education in response to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As for mirrorless cameras, demand is expected to remain solid due to the need for high-quality visual expression. For network cameras, the market is expected to maintain stable growth due to the growing demand for video analysis. In addition, the market for professional video production equipment is expected to grow, supported by increasing demand for video content due to the spread of online video streaming. As for the medical equipment market, demand is expected to remain solid due to a recovery in demand mainly for diagnostic imaging unit products. For semiconductor lithography equipment, demand from a wide range of fields such as memory and logic is expected to continue. For FPD lithography equipment, capital investment by panel manufacturers is expected to continue due to solid demand for the panels used in devices including laptops and tablets.

With regard to currency exchange rates on which Canon bases its performance outlook, Canon anticipates exchange rates of ¥133 to the U.S. dollar and ¥138 to the euro, representing depreciation of approximately ¥18 against the U.S. dollar and depreciation of approximately ¥6 against the euro as the previous year. For the U.S. dollar and the euro, Canon expects the yen to depreciate by ¥9 and depreciate by ¥6 from its previous forecast, respectively.

Upon taking into consideration of the current economic forecast, the aforementioned currency exchange rates and continued efforts to maximize production in response to strong demand for products and supply competitive products in the market, Canon revised the forecast upward to full-year consolidated net sales of ¥4,080.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16.1%; operating profit of ¥376.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 33.4%; income before income taxes of ¥378.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 24.9%; and net income attributable to Canon Inc. of ¥262.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 22.0%.

With regards to dividend forecast for the fiscal year 2022, Canon planned to distribute a yearly dividend of ¥100.00 per share, consisting of ¥50.00 for both the interim and year-end dividend in previous forecast, however, taking into consideration the earnings forecast mentioned above, Canon plans to distribute a yearly dividend of ¥120.00 per share, consisting of ¥60.00 for both the interim and year-end dividend. For more details, please refer to “Notice Regarding Retained Earnings Dividend (Interim Dividend) and Revision to Projected Dividend for the Fiscal Year (the 122nd Business Term)” released separately on July 26, 2022.
