Review of Operations
Sales and income increase, absorbing the impact of the strong yen through
increased sales in growth fi elds
Sales for the fi scal year in the Business Technologies Business totaled ¥547.5 billion (YoY +1.5%). Excluding an adverse effect
of exchange rates due to the strong yen equivalent to ¥24.4 billion, the increase was approximately 6.0%. Operating income
was ¥39.4 billion (YoY +5.4%) and while we experienced problems in procurement of parts due to the impact of large-scale
natural disasters such as the Great East
Japan Earthquake and fl ooding in Thai-
land, we strove to reduce the impact
on sales to a minimum and realized
an increase of both sales and income
despite the strong yen.
The three color models of the new bizhub PRESS series, C8000/C7000/C6000, sales of which commenced from the fall
of 2010, performed well in the in-house printing and digital commercial printing businesses, and the sales volume of color
equipment greatly increased year on year in Japan, the U.S., Europe, and Other regions including Asia. Because monochrome
equipment also performed better than the previous fi scal year primarily in overseas markets, sales for the fi eld increased to a
scale exceeding ¥100 billion.
■ New color equipment drives growth in the Production Print field, sales exceeding ¥100 billion
