    Operating Results and Financial Conditions

    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 printers 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, investment 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 investment 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.

    Summarized results of the consolidated statements of income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 are as follows:

    Diluted

         62.62       +18.4       52.88  

    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. 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.

    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.

    As for the first nine months, net sales increased by 5.0% year-on-year to ¥3,017.3 billion due to a recovery of supply following a shortage of components and logistical disruptions, which had constrained business and solid demand for new businesses such as network cameras, as well as the favorable effects of depreciation of the yen. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.5 points year-on-year to 47.1% due to improvement of product costs, resulting from easing of component shortages and logistics disruptions, and depreciation of the yen. Gross profit increased by 8.5% year-on-year to ¥1,420.8 billion. Operating expenses increased by 10.3% year-on-year to ¥1,161.5 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 1.3% year-on-year to ¥259.4 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥40.7 billion year-on-year to ¥16.6 billion due to a decrease of currency exchange losses, which were substantially incurred last year. As a result, 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 ¥182.98 for the first nine months, a year-on-year increase of ¥29.28.

    As for the Printing Business Unit, MFDs for offices continued to sell well, exceeding unit sales of the same period of 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, unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year 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. These factors resulted in total sales for the business unit of ¥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.

    As for the Imaging Business Unit, sales of the 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. These factors resulted in a total of ¥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 as well as other highly competitive products and non-recurring expenses incurred to close a certain production facility in the previous year.

    As for 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 7.7% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥215.8 billion, and income before income taxes decreased by 21.9% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥35.7 billion.

    Total assets increased by ¥523.5 billion to ¥5,619.0 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the increase of cash and cash equivalents and inventories, combined with the impact of the depreciation of the yen. Inventories increased due to customer’s requests for delayed delivery and preparations for sales expansion in the next quarter. Total liabilities increased by ¥337.0 billion to ¥2,083.5 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the increase of short-term loans. The balance of total equity increased by ¥186.5 billion to ¥3,535.5 billion at September 30, 2023 compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the accumulation of net income attributable to Canon Inc. and the increase of accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the depreciation of the yen although the payment of dividends to Canon Inc. shareholders and the repurchases of treasury stock decreased total equity. As a result, Canon Inc. shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets declined by 2.5 points to 58.6% compared to the end of the previous year. However, Canon continuously has achieved its goal of developing a solid financial base, measured as equity as a percentage of total assets.

    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 medicine and automated analyzer business, as well as continued capital investments to improve efficiency and productivity. Canon defines “free cash flows” as cash flows from operating activities less cash flows from investing activities. Free cash flow increased by ¥9.7 billion compared with the previous year to ¥65.9 billion.

    Operating Results and Financial Conditions (continued)

     

    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.

    Non-GAAP Financial Measures

    Canon has reported its financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, Canon has discussed its results using “free cash flow,” which is a non-GAAP measure.

    Canon believes this measure, which takes into consideration its operating and investing activities, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of its current liquidity and the alternative uses in financing activities.

    A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP is set forth on the following table.

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)

     

    (1)

    Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

     

      (a)

    Basis of Presentation

    The Company issued convertible debentures in the United States in May 1969 and established a program in which its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) are traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market. Since then, under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company has prepared its annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and filed them with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F. The Company’s ADRs were listed on the NYSE in September 2000 after being quoted on NASDAQ from February 1972 to September 2000. On February 24, 2023, the Company filed Form 25 with the SEC in connection with the delisting from the NYSE. The delisting became effective on March 6, 2023. In the future, the Company plans to file an application for the termination of registration of its ADRs with the SEC when the requirements have been met.

    Canon’s quarterly consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of U.S. GAAP. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

    Canon has reclassified certain items in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 to conform to the current year’s presentation.

    The number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies that were accounted for by the equity method as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows:

     

         September 30, 2023      December 31, 2022  

    Consolidated subsidiaries

         334        330  

    Affiliated companies

         11        10  
      

     

     

        

     

     

     

    Total

         345        340  

     

      (b)

    Principles of Consolidation

    The quarterly consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities where the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

     

      (c)

    Recent Accounting Guidance

    Recently adopted accounting guidance

    In October 2021, ASU No. 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”-ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”), was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The standard requires us to apply ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. Canon adopted the standard from interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

    In March 2022, ASU No. 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures”-ASC 326 (“Credit Losses”), was issued by FASB. The standard requires us to expand disclosures for certain loan re-financings and restructurings, and requires current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. Canon adopted the standard from interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

    Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (continued)

     

    In September 2022, ASU No. 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations”-ASC 405-50 (“Liabilities—Supplier Finance Programs”), was issued by FASB. The standard requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. Canon adopted the standard, which requires disclosure of the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding, from interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023. The standard’s requirement to disclose a rollforward of obligations outstanding is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. For further information, please refer to Note 8.

    Lessor Accounting (continued)

     

    Canon has policies in place to ensure that its products are sold to customers with an appropriate credit history, and continuously monitors its customers’ credit quality based on information including length of period in arrears, macroeconomic conditions, initiation of legal proceedings against customers and bankruptcy filings. The allowance for credit losses of lease receivables is evaluated collectively based on historical experiences of credit losses and reasonable and supportable forecasts. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when Canon becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings. Lease receivables which are past due or individually evaluated for impairment at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are not significant.

    Information about transferring lease receivables

    Canon has syndication arrangements to sell its entire interests in lease receivables to the third-party financial institutions. The transactions under the arrangements are accounted for as sales in accordance with ASC 860 “Transfers and Servicing.” There were no significant transfers of lease receivables for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 while the transfers of lease receivables were ¥23,435 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023. The amount that remained uncollected was ¥32,052 million and ¥13,077 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Cash proceeds from the transactions are included in increase in lease receivables under the cash flow from operating activities in the consolidated statement of cash flows. Canon continues to provide collection and administrative services for the financial institutions. The amount associated with the servicing liability measured at fair value was not significant at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Canon also retains limited recourse obligations which cover credit defaults. The recourse obligations were not significant at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

    Acquisitions

    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 for cash consideration of ¥28,968 million.

    Acquisitions of businesses, net of cash acquired presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows includes the subrogation payment of the loan of ¥4,450 million of Minaris Medical to Resonac Corporation which was made by Canon Medical Systems Corporation in addition to the above cash consideration.

    The acquisition was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. Acquisition-related costs were expensed as incurred and were not material.

    In the medical business, Canon is working to strengthen its 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.

    Canon has not completed the process of allocating the amount paid for the acquisition to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the provisional allocation is based on the information available as of the issuance date of the consolidated financial statements. The provisional amount of goodwill was ¥24,330 million which may be revised during the measurement period. The estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date in the consolidated balance sheets were not material excluding those pertaining to goodwill.

    The operating results with the assumption the financial statements of Minaris Medical had been included in Canon’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the year beginning on January 1, 2023 were not disclosed because the impact was not material.

    Revenue

    Canon recognizes contract assets primarily for unbilled receivables mainly arising from services contracts for the products of the Printing Business Unit. Contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables when they are billed under the terms of the contract. The difference between the opening and closing balances of contract assets primarily results from the timing difference of Canon’s performance and billing to customers. Contract assets at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were ¥48,392 million and ¥39,251 million respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

    Canon typically bills to the customer when the performance obligation is satisfied and collects the payment in relatively short term except for certain maintenance service of the products of the Printing Business Unit and the Medical Business Unit and certain industrial equipment for which Canon occasionally receives the payment in advance from customers. The amount received in excess of revenue recognized is recorded as deferred revenue until the performance obligation for distinct goods or services are satisfied. Deferred revenue at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was ¥163,095 million and ¥141,840 million, respectively, and are included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which had been included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022, was ¥98,771 million.

    Remaining performance obligations for products and equipment at September 30, 2023 primarily arise from the sales of certain industrial equipment, amounting to ¥210,604 million, 66% of which is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year, 32% is within two years and the remaining 2% is within three years. Disclosure of remaining performance obligations is not required for the majority of service since the related revenue is recognized on an as billed basis applying the right to invoice practical expedient or is generated from the contracts with original expected duration of less than one year. Service revenue recognized from the fixed maintenance service contracts for the products of the Printing Business Unit and the Medical Business Unit with original expected duration of more than one year is ¥59,724 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and the average remaining period for these fixed contracts at September 30, 2023 is about two years.

    Disaggregated revenues by business unit, product and geographic area are described in Note 20.

    Derivatives and Hedging Activities

    Risk management policy

    Canon operates internationally, exposing it to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are comprised principally of foreign exchange contracts utilized by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to reduce the risk. Canon assesses foreign currency exchange rate risk by continually monitoring changes in the exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Canon does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Canon is also exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but it is not expected that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. Most of the counterparties are internationally recognized financial institutions and selected by Canon taking into account their financial condition, and contracts are diversified across a number of major financial institutions.

    Foreign currency exchange rate risk management

    Canon’s international operations expose Canon to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Canon uses foreign exchange contracts to manage certain foreign currency exchange exposures principally from the exchange of U.S. dollars and euros into yen. These contracts are primarily used to hedge the foreign currency exposure of forecasted intercompany sales and intercompany trade receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. In accordance with Canon’s policy, a specific portion of foreign currency exposure resulting from forecasted intercompany sales is hedged using foreign exchange contracts which principally mature within three months.

    Cash flow hedge

    Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, including foreign exchange contracts associated with forecasted intercompany sales, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. All amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of September 30, 2023 are expected to be recognized in net sales over the next twelve months. Changes in the fair value of a foreign exchange contract for the period between the date that the forecasted intercompany sales occur and its maturity date are recognized in earnings.

    Derivatives not designated as hedges

    Canon has entered into certain foreign exchange contracts to primarily offset the earnings impact related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain assets denominated in foreign currencies. Although these foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedges as required in order to apply hedge accounting, the contracts are effective from an economic perspective. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately.

    Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

    Commitments

    As of September 30, 2023, commitments outstanding for the purchase of property, plant and equipment approximated ¥65,292 million, and commitments outstanding for the purchase of parts and raw materials approximated ¥234,246 million.

    Guarantees

    Canon occupies sales offices and other facilities under lease arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Deposits mainly for restoration made under such arrangements aggregated ¥10,745 million and ¥10,086 million at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in noncurrent receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

    Canon provides guarantees for its employees, affiliates and other companies. The guarantees for the employees are principally made for their housing loans. The guarantees for affiliates and other companies are made for their lease obligations and bank loans to facilitate financing.

    Canon would have to perform under a guarantee if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract terms. The contract terms are 1 year to 11 years in case of employees with housing loans, and 1 year to 6 years in case of affiliates and other companies with lease obligations and bank loans. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Canon would have had to make in the event of default is ¥1,893 million at September 30, 2023. The carrying amounts of the liabilities recognized for Canon’s obligations as a guarantor under those guarantees at September 30, 2023 were not significant.

    Canon also offers assurance-type warranties under which it generally guarantees the performance of products delivered and services rendered for a certain period or term. Estimated product warranty costs are recorded at the time revenue is recognized and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Estimates for accrued product warranty costs are based on historical experience. Accrued product warranty costs are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and changes in accrued product warranty cost for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized as follows:

    Legal proceedings

    Canon is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Canon has recorded provisions for liabilities when it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Canon reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of the negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, although litigation is inherently unpredictable, Canon believes that any damage amounts claimed in outstanding matters are not a meaningful indicator of Canon’s potential liability. In the opinion of management, any reasonably possible range of losses from outstanding matters would not have a material adverse effect on Canon’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

         (54,182 )      (54,182 )      (54,205 )      (54,205 ) 

    The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value in the above table.

    Long-term debt

    Canon’s long-term debt instruments are classified as Level 2 instruments and valued based on the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using current market borrowing rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. The levels are more fully described in Note 18.

    Limitations of fair value estimates

    Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

    Concentrations of credit risk

    No single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of consolidated trade receivables as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

    Fair Value Measurements

    Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is as follows:

     

    Level 1 -    Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
    Level 2 -    Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
    Level 3 -    Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable, which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in establishing a price.

    Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

    The following tables present Canon’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

    Level 1 investments are comprised principally of Japanese equity securities, which are valued using an unadjusted quoted market price in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised principally of corporate bonds included in cash and cash equivalents, investments or short-term investments, and derivatives. Corporate bonds included in cash and cash equivalents, and investments or short-term investments are valued using quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active or quotes obtained from counterparties or third parties.

    Derivative financial instruments are comprised of foreign exchange contracts. Level 2 derivatives are valued using quotes obtained from counterparties or third parties, which are periodically validated by pricing models using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, based on market approach.

    Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

    During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no circumstances that required any significant assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

    Segment Information

    Canon reports in four reportable segments: the Printing Business Unit, the Imaging Business Unit, the Medical Business Unit and the Industrial Business Unit with Others and Corporate, which are based on the organizational structure and information reviewed by Canon’s management to evaluate results and allocate resources.

    Based on the realignment of Canon’s internal management structure, from the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2022, Canon has changed the name and structure of segments from Industrial and Others Business Unit and Corporate and eliminations to Industrial Business Unit, Others and Corporate and Eliminations. Also, a certain business, which was previously included in Others, has been presented within the Printing Business Unit from the beginning of the first quarter of 2023.
