    I. Operating Results and Financial Conditions

    2023 Third Quarter in Review

    Looking back at the third quarter of 2023, although the economic situation varied from one region to another, the global economy recovered modestly. In the United States, thanks to the strong employment situation, consumer spending remained solid. In Europe, however, the economy remained stagnant with strong uninterrupted downward pressure on the economy due to the continuation of tight monetary policy. In China, the economy slowed down due to sluggish real estate market. In other emerging countries, the economy remained solid, mostly centering around consumer spending and the service industry. In Japan, the economy recovered moderately, with consumer spending showing signs of picking up on the back of improvement in the employment and personal income environment.

    In the markets in which Canon operates, demand was impacted by the sluggish Chinese economy. On a product basis, despite stagnant market conditions in China, demand for office multifunction devices (MFDs) remained firm thanks to solid demand for printing equipment offering high productivity in other countries. For inkjet printers, while the demand from customers working from home slowed, sales of refillable ink tank models remained firm. For laser printers, demand slowed due to the curbing of corporate investments. For cameras, demand remained solid due to a recovery in travel and leisure. The market of network cameras continued to grow as well. For medical equipment, demand remained firm, particularly in Japan and Europe. For semiconductor lithography equipment, although demand for memory devices remained weak, investments remained at a high level, particularly for power devices, analog devices and sensors. For FPD (Flat Panel Display) lithography equipment, the market continued to shrink due to restrained investments by panel manufacturers.

    The average value of the yen against the U.S. dollar in the third quarter and for the first nine months of the year was ¥144.76, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥6, and ¥138.27, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥10, respectively. Correspondingly, against the euro, ¥157.32 a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥18, and ¥149.59, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥14.

    As for the third quarter, net sales increased by 2.9% year-on-year to ¥1,025.2 billion due to solid demand for network cameras and other new businesses, and the favorable effects of depreciation of the yen. Net sales for the third quarter exceeded ¥1,000 billion for the first time in sixteen years since 2007. Net sales for the first nine months of the year increased by 5.0% year-on-year to ¥3,017.3 billion. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.7 points year-on-year to 47.0% due to an improvement in costs, resulting from easing of component shortages and logistics disruptions, and the favorable effects of depreciation of the yen. Gross profit for the third quarter increased by 6.9% year-on-year to ¥482.1 billion. Operating expenses increased by 8.1% year-on-year to ¥399.4 billion due to an increase in sales-related expenses with the normalization of sales activity. In addition, operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies increased due to depreciation of the yen. As a result, operating profit increased by 1.5% year-on-year to ¥82.6 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥7.1 billion year-on-year to ¥4.7 billion due to a decrease of currency exchange losses, which were substantially incurred last year. As a result, income before income taxes increased by 10.4% year-on-year to ¥87.3 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 14.8% year-on-year to ¥62.1 billion. Consequently, operating profit, income before income taxes and net income attributable to Canon Inc. for the third quarter exceeded last year. Operating profit for the first nine months of the year increased by 1.3% to ¥259.4 billion, while income before income taxes increased by 19.0% to ¥276.0 billion and first nine months net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 15.6% to ¥183.9 billion.

    Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥62.65 for the third quarter, a year-on-year increase of ¥9.75, and ¥182.98 for the first nine months, a year-on-year increase of ¥29.28.

    Results by Segment

    Looking at Canon’s third-quarter performance by business unit, in the Printing Business Unit, unit sales of MFDs for offices decreased compared with the same period of the previous year, due to stagnant market conditions in China this year and the high level of unit sales last year resulting from the resumption of product supply. As for inkjet printers, unit sales were at the same level as the previous year thanks to solid sales of refillable ink tank models, even as the surge in working from home demand subsided. As for laser printers, unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year due to the curbing of corporate investments. Regarding equipment for the production printing market, unit sales increased compared with the same period of the previous year, thanks to enhancing its product lineup by adding the imagePRESS V1350. As a result, sales of the Printing Business Unit increased by 2.8% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥570.4 billion. Income before income taxes for the third quarter increased by 6.5% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥46.8 billion mainly due to decrease in logistics costs. Sales for the first nine months of the year totaled ¥1,703.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4.3%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥161.5 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 5.1% due to such effects as weak sales of consumables in the first half of the year.

    In the Imaging Business Unit, sales of interchangeable-lens digital cameras, in particular mirrorless cameras like the EOS R6 Mark II, a full-frame mirrorless camera released last year, and the new entry-level EOS R50 and EOS R100 mirrorless cameras launched in the first half of this year, remained solid. Sales of RF-series interchangeable-lenses remained solid as well. Sales of network cameras increased thanks to solid demand and enhanced sales activity against the background of diversifying applications. As a result, sales for the third quarter of the Imaging Business Unit increased by 8.7% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥220.7 billion, while income before income taxes for the third quarter increased by 10.2% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥40.6 billion. Sales for the first nine months of the year totaled ¥632.3 billion, a year-on-year increase of 12.7%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥113.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 35.5% due to the steady sales of network cameras and other highly competitive products, as well as non-recurring expenses incurred to close a certain production facility in the previous year.

    In the Medical Business Unit, sales remained firm mainly in Japan and Europe. As a result, sales of the Medical Business Unit increased by 5.0% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥132.4 billion. Income before income taxes for the third quarter increased by 0.3% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥6.6 billion. Sales for the first nine months of the year totaled ¥389.6 billion, a year-on-year increase of 7.5%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥17.9 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 17.1% mainly due to active investments to augment its workforce in order to enhance its sales capacity.

    In the Industrial Business Unit, sales of semiconductor lithography equipment remained strong, particularly for those used in the production of power devices. As a result, unit sales were on par with the same period of the previous year, which saw a significant increase in unit sales. For FPD lithography equipment, unit sales decreased compared with the previous year due to reduced investments by panel manufacturers as the panel market worsened. As a result, net sales of the Industrial Business Unit decreased by 9.4% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥78.8 billion, and income before income taxes for the third quarter decreased by 6.6% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥15.9 billion. Sales for the first nine months of the year totaled ¥215.8 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 7.7%, while income before income taxes totaled ¥35.7 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 21.9%.

    Cash Flow

    During the first nine months of 2023, cash flow from operating activities increased by ¥81.4 billion year-on-year to ¥269.9 billion, mainly due to an increase in profit and efforts to limit the rise in inventory. Cash flow used in investing activities increased by ¥71.7 billion to ¥204.0 billion from the same period of the previous year due to an acquisition of Minaris Medical Co., Ltd., which has in vitro diagnostics and automated analyzer businesses, as well as continued capital investments to improve efficiency and productivity. Accordingly, free cash flow increased by ¥9.7 billion compared with the previous year to ¥65.9 billion.

    Cash flow from financing activities increased by ¥94.7 billion year-on-year to ¥65.1 billion due to an increase in proceeds received from short-term loans despite dividends paid increased by ¥11.5 billion from the same period of last year due to an increase in last year’s year-end dividend and this year’s interim dividend, as well as repurchases of ¥100.0 billion of treasury stock.

    Owing to these factors, as well as the impact from foreign currency exchange adjustments, cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥158.6 billion to ¥520.7 billion from the end of the previous year.

    Outlook

    There are still some global economic uncertainties for the fourth quarter onward due to various geopolitical risks, tightening monetary policies across the world in response to inflation, and the risk of an economic slowdown caused by China’s market stagnation and other factors. However, Canon expects the global economy to continue down the track of recovery due to the strong employment situation and improved personal income, particularly in the United States and Japan.

    In the market in which Canon operates, demand for office MFDs as key office devices is expected to remain firm, thanks to strong demand for high-productivity printing as well as their reputation. For inkjet printers, the demand for refillable ink tank models is expected to remain solid even though the market of inkjet printers is expected to shrink due to decreased working from home demand. For laser printers, demand is expected to remain weak due to the curbing of corporate investments despite new demand generated from decentralization of offices. As for digital interchangeable-lens cameras, demand is expected to remain solid during the year-end selling season in the fourth quarter. For network cameras, market growth is expected to remain stable due to the continued expansion of security applications and growing demand for applications to enhance 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 continued growth in demand for online video content. As for the medical equipment market, demand is expected to remain solid despite ongoing uncertainty due to increasing interest rates and delayed purchase of equipment by medical institutions caused by increasing interest rates and labor cost. Canon will steadily execute equipment installation for placed orders. For semiconductor lithography equipment, despite concerns that the temporary decline in some memory device market will continue, demand of equipment 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 harsh market condition is expected to continue due to ongoing delayed investments by panel manufacturers amid market sluggishness.

    Regarding currency exchange rates on which Canon bases its performance outlook for the fourth quarter onwards, Canon anticipates exchange rates of ¥145 to the U.S. dollar and ¥155 to the euro, representing depreciation of approximately ¥8 against the U.S. dollar and depreciation of approximately ¥13 against the euro from the previous year. For the U.S. dollar and the euro, Canon expects the yen to depreciate by ¥5 and depreciate by ¥6 from its previous forecast, respectively.

    Upon taking into consideration the currency exchange rates and the current market conditions, Canon revised its forecast to full-year consolidated net sales of ¥4,220.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 4.7%, due to the market slowdown in China, which mainly affects its laser printer business, as well as postponement of installation of semiconductor lithography equipment and FPD lithography equipment for customer reasons. On the other hand, taking into consideration the decrease in the cost of logistics and components, as well as the gains from depreciation of the yen, Canon maintained its previous outlook, expecting 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%; net income attributable to Canon Inc. of ¥292.0 billion, a year-on-year increase of 19.7%, recording highs since 2009.
