MEDICAL AND GRAPHIC IMAGING
OVERVIEW OF RESULTS FOR FY MARCH 2010
While we worked to expand sales of digital devices and focus on
strengthening our solutions business, the healthcare and graphic
imaging segments were unable to make up for the accelerating drop
in sales of film products, and with the additional effects of a high yen,
sales were down 17.1% versus the previous period, to ¥104.3 billion.
Despite thorough measures to reduce fixed costs, operating income
also fell by 52.3% compared to the previous period, to ¥1.4 billion.
STATUS BY SEGMENT
HEALTHCARE
In the key digital X-ray diagnostic imaging field, we began sales
of our new REGIUS MODEL 210, and, along with digital radiogra-
phy system and diagnostic imaging workstations, worked to
expand sales to hospitals and clinics worldwide. Unit sales of
these and other digital diagnostic systems maintained levels
similar to those in the previous period. We also worked to expand
our reach in the healthcare segment, introducing two new prod-
ucts outside the X-ray diagnostic imaging sector, the I-PACS EX
ceed network workstation, and the SONIMAGE 513, a color
ultrasound diagnostic system.
GRAPHIC IMAGING
We worked to expand sales of the Pagemaster Pro 6500N on-
demand printing system and other digital systems. While the printing
industry continues to see a freeze on capital investment due to the
prolonged economic downturn, our efforts to expand sales kept
digital equipment sales on par with the previous period.
STRATEGY GOING FORWARD
With demand for film-related products in the medical and healthcare
segment expected to continuously decline, we plan to expand into
new business domains by promoting sales of digital diagnostic imag-
ing systems, and by aggressively expanding our infomity service,
which combines remote maintenance, management support, and
network services. In emerging markets, for the present we will focus
our efforts on China and India, working to expand sales of digital
systems tailored to the needs of those markets.
In the graphic imaging segment, we will utilize our accumulated
knowledge of customer needs and workflows in commercial print-
ing to further enhance our competitiveness and expand our busi-
ness in the field of production printing, which is being positioned as
a growth segment for the Group*.
* We have decided to carve out the graphic imaging business managed by Konica
Minolta Medical & Graphics, Inc. and place it under the management of Konica Minolta
Business Technologies, Inc.
