6To Our Shareholders and Investors
The Nikon Group is working
to build a leading position and
realize sustainable growth
In the fiscal year ended March 2011, on a consolidated basis, Nikon achieved
a 13% increase in net sales compared with the previous fiscal year and a return
to profitability. This result was mainly driven by the ongoing robust sales
performance of the Imaging Company and recovery in the Precision Equipment
Company and Instruments Company. The corporate structural reforms we
implemented two years ago also contributed to this turnaround. The Nikon
Group is working to build leading positions in all of its major businesses,
as well as continuously provide new value and realize sustainable growth.
