I. Operating Results and Financial Conditions

2023 Second Quarter in Review

Looking back at the second quarter of 2023, although economic recovery showed signs of weakness in some regions, there was a moderate recovery overall. By region, in the United States, thanks to the strong employment situation, consumer spending remained steady. In Europe, however, the economy remained stagnant due to the downward pressure caused by rising interest rates. In China, despite domestic demand recovering thanks to the lifting of the government’s Zero-COVID strategy, the demand in real estate markets decreased. In other emerging countries, the economy remained solid, mostly centering around consumer spending and the service industry. In Japan, the economy recovered moderately driven by its solid export, the recovery of consumer spending and capital investments.

In the markets in which Canon operates, while concerns about an economic slowdown due to inflation and rising interest rate affected some markets, businesses remained firm thanks to the recovery of supplies following the resolution of component shortages and logistical disruptions. On a product basis, demand for office multifunction devices (MFDs) remained firm thanks to strong demand for high-productivity printing. For inkjet printers, the demand from customers working from home slowed. For laser printers, while demand slowed due to the curbing of corporate investments, new demand was generated through diversifying work styles. For cameras, demand remained solid, mainly for mirrorless cameras. For medical equipment, while there was a drop-off following a period of increased demand last year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand remained firm mainly in Europe. For semiconductor lithography equipment, although demand for memory devices declined, investments stayed robust mainly for power devices, analog devices, and sensors. For FPD (Flat Panel Display) lithography equipment, demand declined due to reduced investments by panel manufacturers.

The average value of the yen during the second quarter and the first half of the year was ¥137.57 and ¥135.09 against the U.S. dollar, respectively, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥8 and a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥12, and ¥149.62 and ¥145.88 against the euro, respectively, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥12 and a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥11.

As for the second quarter, net sales for the second quarter increased by 2.2% year-on-year to ¥1,020.9 billion due to solid demand and new products that were well-received in the market, as well as the favorable effects of depreciation of the yen. Net sales for the first half of the year increased by 6.1% year-on-year to ¥1,992.0 billion. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.0 points year-on-year to 47.5% due to well-received adjustments to product prices, improvement of product costs, resulting from easing of component shortages and logistics disruptions, and depreciation of the yen. Gross profit for the second quarter increased by 4.5% year-on-year to ¥484.8 billion. Operating expenses increased by 7.4% year-on-year to ¥392.5 billion due to an increase in sales personnel and sales-related expenses accompanying a growth in sales. In addition, operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies increased due to the depreciation of the yen. As a result, operating profit decreased by 6.3% year-on-year to ¥92.3 billion. On the other hand, operating profit for the first half of the year increased by 1.2% year-on-year to ¥176.7 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥22.1 billion year-on-year to ¥8.9 billion, due to gains on valuation of securities and a decrease of currency exchange losses from liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, income before income taxes increased by 18.7% year-on-year to ¥101.1 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 10.8% year-on-year to ¥65.4 billion. Income before income taxes for the first half of the year increased by 23.4% to ¥188.7 billion and first-half net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 16.0% to ¥121.8 billion.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥64.78 for the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of ¥7.93, and ¥120.36 for the first half, a year-on-year increase of ¥19.54.

Results by Segment

Looking at Canon’s second-quarter performance by business unit, in the Printing Business Unit, MFDs for offices continued to sell well, significantly exceeding unit sales of the same period from the previous year, as the product supply shortage was abated, while demand for products including the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C5800 mid-speed color MFD series were solid. As for inkjet printers, the number of unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year as the surge in demand from users working from home subsided. As for laser printers, the number of unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year, when supplies of products recovered, partly due to the curbing of corporate investments. Regarding equipment for the production printing market, the number of unit sales increased compared with the same period of the previous year, with the new strengthened product lineup of imagePRESS V series models strengthened by the addition of the imagePRESS V1350. As a result, sales of the Printing Business Unit increased by 0.8% compared with the same period of previous year to ¥574.9 billion. Due to such effects as weak consumables sales, net income before tax for the second quarter decreased by 13.0% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥61.6 billion. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥1,133.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 5.1%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥114.7 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 9.1%.

In the Imaging Business Unit, as for the interchangeable-lens digital cameras, unit sales increased due to steady sales of the EOS R6 Mark II full-frame mirrorless camera, EOS R7 and EOS R10 APS-C size mirrorless cameras released last year. The new entry-level EOS R50 and EOS R100 models, launched this year, were also well-received in the market. The market demand for some models even surpassed production capacity. Unit sales of lenses surpassed those of the same period of the previous year thanks to strong sales of RF-series interchangeable-lenses. Sales of network cameras increased thanks to strong demand and enhanced sales activity that leveraged the products’ expanding range of applications. As a result, sales for the second quarter of the Imaging Business Unit increased by 9.1% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥219.2 billion, while net income before tax for the second quarter increased by 6.4% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥35.0 billion as a result of improved profitability due to an enhanced product mix that included new products. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥411.7 billion, a year-on-year increase of 15.0%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥72.5 billion, a year-on-year increase of 55.5%.

In the Medical Business Unit, while there was a drop-off following a period of increased demand last year in response to COVID-19, sales remained firm mainly in Europe. As a result, sales of the Medical Business Unit increased by 6.7% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥126.1 billion. Net income before taxes for the second quarter decreased by 49.0% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥4.4 billion due to an increase in personnel to strengthen sales. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥257.2 billion, a year-on-year increase of 8.8%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥11.3 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 24.7%.

In the Industrial Business Unit, the number of semiconductor lithography equipment sold exceeded that of the same period of the previous year, supported by strengthened production capacity, and led by continued strong demand for power devices. For FPD lithography equipment, unit sales increased compared with previous year despite reduced investments by panel manufacturers as the panel market worsened. On the other hand, industrial equipment sales decreased compared with the previous year when it enjoyed strong corporate investment. As a result, net sales of the Industrial Business Unit decreased by 4.4% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥74.9 billion, and net income before tax for the second quarter decreased by 25.2% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥12.2 billion due to a drop-off following large investments in industrial equipment over the previous year. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥136.9 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 6.7%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥19.8 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 31.0%.

Cash Flow

In the first half of the year, cash flow from operating activities increased by ¥25.5 billion year-on-year to ¥154.1 billion as a result of an increase in profit and working capital improvement, such as trade receivables. Cash flow used in investing activities increased by ¥11.0 billion to ¥94.4 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year, when income temporarily increased due to the sales of an overseas branch office despite decreased purchases of securities. Accordingly, free cash flow increased by ¥14.5 billion compared with the previous year to ¥59.7 billion.

Cash flow from financing activities increased by ¥121.2 billion year-on-year to ¥98.7 billion due to an increase in short-term loans despite increased first-half dividend payouts of ¥3.4 billion and repurchases of ¥58.1 billion of treasury stock.

Owing to these factors, as well as the impact from foreign currency exchange adjustments, cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥180.1 billion to ¥542.2 billion from the end of the previous year.

Outlook

There are still some global economic uncertainties for the third quarter onward due to various geopolitical risks and the risk of an economic slowdown as a result of tightening monetary policies in response to inflation. However, the outlook for the global economy anticipates a continued recovery trend due to the normalization of markets after the lifting of movement restrictions following the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the markets in which Canon operates, demand for office MFDs is expected to continue to remain firm, thanks to strong demand for high-productivity printing as well as their reputation as key office devices. For inkjet printers, new home-use printing demand generated by the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to continue. In addition, demand for refillable ink tank models is expected to increase. For laser printers, demand is expected to recover from the second half of the year thanks to new demand generated from decentralization of offices. As for digital interchangeable-lens cameras, demand is expected to remain solid due to a recovery in travel and leisure. For network cameras, the market is expected to maintain stable growth due to continued expansion of security applications, along with the growing demand for enhancing productivity and quality at manufacturing and sales sites. In addition, the needs for downsizing and remote control in professional video production equipment are expected to continue, supported by the growing demand for online video content. As for the medical equipment market, demand is expected to remain solid despite ongoing uncertainty. For semiconductor lithography equipment, despite concerns of temporary shrinking in some memory device markets, demand for such products as power devices is expected to remain solid. Furthermore, robust demand is expected to continue as semiconductor factories are being constructed in various countries and regions from the viewpoint of economic security. For FPD lithography equipment, the market is likely to shrink due to ongoing delayed investments by panel manufacturers amid market sluggishness.

With regard to currency exchange rates on which Canon bases its performance outlook for the third quarter onwards, Canon anticipates exchange rates of ¥135.0 to the U.S. dollar and ¥145.0 to the euro, representing depreciation of approximately ¥3.0 against the U.S. dollar and depreciation of approximately ¥7.0 against the euro compared with the previous year. For the U.S. dollar and the euro, Canon expects the yen to depreciate by ¥5 compared with its previous forecast.

Upon taking into consideration of the aforementioned currency exchange rates, Canon revised its forecast upward to full-year consolidated net sales of ¥4,363.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 8.2%; operating profit of ¥400.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 13.2%; income before income taxes of ¥425.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 20.6%; and net income attributable to Canon Inc. of ¥292.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.7%.

8. NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On July 3, 2023, Canon borrowed ¥32 billion under its existing overdraft facilities with Mizuho Bank, Ltd. and MUFG Bank, Ltd. for required operating funds. The overdraft facilities bear interest at a rate equal to a base rate plus a spread.

On July 3, 2023, Canon Medical Systems Corporation, a subsidiary of the Company, acquired 100% of the issued shares of Minaris Medical Co., Ltd. and Minaris Medical America, Inc., (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Minaris Medical”) from Resonac Corporation. In the medical business, Canon is working to strengthen our core business of diagnostic imaging systems, while also working to expand into areas such as healthcare IT and in vitro diagnostics. This acquisition will allow synergy between Minaris Medical’s diverse solutions in the in-vitro diagnostics business and Canon’s technologies in the fields of automated biochemical analyzers, diagnostic imaging, and healthcare IT. By leveraging this synergy, Canon will be able to provide added value to meet the demands of the market. Further information related to the accounting for this business combination has not been disclosed, because none of the activities required to complete the initial accounting for this acquisition have been completed as of the announcement date of the second quarter of 2023 consolidated results.
