Results at a glance

  • Operating income grew faster, rising +15.0% to ¥77.9B.
  • Net income attributable to owners climbed +23.5% to ¥67.6B, and operating cash flow rose +23.3% to ¥111B.

What drove the change

  • Printer and multifunction device sales held up well for both hardware and supplies, helped by price increases and a weaker yen.
  • Machine tool sales in the Machinery segment jumped as automotive and general machinery customers, mainly in China, spent more on equipment.
  • Operating income also included a gain from selling the business of a subsidiary that ran karaoke venues, plus gains on selling fixed assets.

Things to watch

  • Changes in US tariffs and trade policy could raise the cost of parts and disrupt the supply chain.
  • People are printing less at offices and at home, a trend that could weigh on the core printer business.
  • Competition in industrial printers has intensified in Europe and the US, and sales there fell sharply.
