A Nikon Group Capable of Another
Century of Growth
In the fi scal year ended March 2014, consolidated net sales declined 3.0% year on year, to ¥980.6 billion,
while operating income climbed to ¥62.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 23.4%. In addition to top- and
bottom-line growth in the Precision Equipment Business, this performance refl ected higher earnings in the
Imaging Products Business, despite lower sales due to weak market conditions.
Ahead of the 100th anniversary of the Nikon Group in 2017, in June 2014 the Group announced
“Next 100 - Transform to Grow,” a three-year Medium-Term Management Plan designed to set it on the road
to another 100 years in business. Guided by this plan, our goal is to realize sustainable growth by establishing
a new business portfolio.
We ask for the continued support of our shareholders, investors, and other stakeholders as we move forward
into our next century.
