1. Performance and Financial Position

  1. Qualitative Information regarding Consolidated Operating Results
    During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, in the Imaging Products Business, the shrinkage trend of the

digital camera market persisted, although signs of recovery were seen in the market conditions that were worsened by the spread of COVID-19. In the Precision Equipment Business, capital investments were solid for both mid-to-small size and large-size panels in the FPD-related field. Capital investments in the semiconductor-related field were on a recovery trend. In the Healthcare Business, market conditions generally remained dull in both the bioscience field and the ophthalmic diagnosis field due to the spread of COVID-19, but there have also been some recent signs of recovery.

Under these circumstances, during the nine months ended December 31, 2020, revenue fell by 118,203 million yen (26.6%) year on year to 326,258 million yen. The Group recorded an operating loss of 36,762 million yen (operating profit of 21,569 million yen was posted in the same period of the previous fiscal year), loss before income taxes of27,931 million yen (profit before income taxes of 25,918 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year), and loss attributable to owners of the parent of23,434 million yen (profit attributable to owners of the parent of 20,229 million yen in the same period of the previous fiscal year). For the three months ended December 31, 2020, the Group recorded an operating profit of 9,873 million yen.

Performance by segment is as follows.

As stated in "2. Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (5) Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (Segment Information)," there has been a revision within the reportable business segments from the quarter ended June 30, 2020. The following year-on-year comparisons are made with the figures prepared based on the revised business segments for the same period of the previous year.

In the Imaging Products Business, the Group made efforts to expand sales of mid- to high-end products for the professional and hobbyist segments by launching the Z 7II and Z 6II, full-frame mirrorless cameras of new products in the Z series, and by expanding the product line-up of interchangeable lenses for mirrorless cameras. Nevertheless, unit sales of digital cameras overall fell amidst the shrinking market, resulting in decreased revenue and profits.

In the Precision Equipment Business, although the resumption of installation work in July led to increase the unit sales during the three months ended December 31, 2020, compared to the same period of the previous fiscal year, both revenue and profit fell due to the decline in unit sales by factors such as the travel restrictions caused by the spread of COVID-19 during the nine months ended December 31, 2020 in the FPD lithography system field. In the semiconductor lithography system field, unit sales declined due to factors such as the Group's major customer being at their shifting point of investment, resulting in revenue decreased. In addition, disposal and write-down of some equipment were recorded, resulting in profit decreased.

In the Healthcare Business, revenue and profits increased for the three months ended December 31, 2020 because the bioscience field was steady and the ophthalmic diagnosis field was strong from October. For the nine months ended December 31, 2020, however, revenue fell due to the material impact of the spread of COVID-19 in the first half of the fiscal year, while operating loss for the entire business was at the same level as that of the same period of the previous fiscal year.

(2) Qualitative Information regarding Consolidated Financial Position

The balance of total assets as of December 31, 2020 increased 15,148 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 1,021,029 million yen. This was mainly because while increases were seen in other current financial assets included in non-current assets by 41,776 million yen due to factors such as increases in fair value of investment securities, cash and cash equivalents increases by 18,351 million yen, decreases were seen in property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, goodwill and intangible assets by 21,624 million yen, deferred tax assets by 9,505 million and in trade and other receivables by 9,052 million yen.

The balance of total liabilities as of December 31, 2020 increased 12,378 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 476,499 million yen. This was primarily because while increases were seen in bonds and borrowings included in non-current liabilities by 18,768 million mainly due to issue of corporate bonds and increase of 5,518 million yen in advances received, trade and other payables fell by 10,246 million yen.

The balance of total equity as of December 31, 2020 increased 2,770 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 544,530 million yen. This was mainly because while other components of equity rose by 30,096 million yen due to factors such as increases in fair value of investment securities, retained earnings fell by 27,461 million yen, primarily as a result of posting loss attributable to owners of the parent and also dividends paid.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2020, for the cash flows from operating activities, net cash of 11,554 million yen was provided in operating activities, as depreciation and amortization of 20,997 million yen, impairment losses of 18,868 million yen were posted, decreases were seen in trade and other receivables and increases were seen advance received. However on the contrary, loss before taxes were posted, trade and other payables decreased. (Net cash of 20,076 million yen was provided in the same period of the previous year).

For the cash flows from investing activities, net cash used in investing activities was 1,078 million yen, primarily owing to the purchases of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets, in spite of the proceeds from sales of investment securities of 13,459 million yen. (Net cash of 15,371 million yen was used in the same period of the previous year).

For the cash flows from financing activities, net cash provided in financing activities was 7,044 million yen, due to proceeds from the issuance of bonds of 19,894 million yen, in spite of the repayments of lease obligations and payment of dividends. (Net cash of 55,083 million yen was used in the same period of the previous year).

In addition, the effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents increased 831 million yen.

As a result of the above, the balance of cash and cash equivalents as of December 31, 2020 rose by 18,351 million yen from the end of the previous fiscal year to 342,385 million yen.

(3) Qualitative Information regarding Consolidated Financial Forecasts

Regarding the business environment for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021, in the Imaging Products Business, the digital camera market is forecast to continue to shrink. In the Precision Equipment Business, capital investments for mid-to-small size and large-size panels are expected to be steady in the FPD-related field, although the spread of COVID-19 is likely to have a lingering impact. The semiconductor-related field is expected to continue its recovery trend. In the Healthcare Business, although there is expected to be a major impact from the spread of COVID-19, both the bioscience field and the ophthalmic diagnosis field are expected to continue their recovery trend toward the end of the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021.

The consolidated financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021 is revised as stated in the "Notice Regarding the Recognition of Disposal and Write-Down of Inventory and Revision of the Consolidated Financial Forecast for the Fiscal Year Ending March 31, 2021," announced on January 29, 2021.

(Segment Information)

(1) Outline of Reportable Business Segments

The business segments that the Group reports are the business units for which the Company is able to obtain respective financial information separately for the Board of Directors to conduct periodic investigations to determine distribution of management resources and evaluate the Group's business results.

In consideration of the similarity of economic characteristics, the Group integrated its business divisions into three reportable segments consisting of the Imaging Products Business, the Precision Equipment Business, and the Healthcare Business.

The Imaging Products Business provides products and services of imaging products and its peripheral domain, such as digital SLR cameras, compact digital cameras and interchangeable camera lenses. The Precision Equipment Business provides products and services with regard to the FPD lithography system and semiconductor lithography system. The Healthcare Business provides products and services for bioscience and ophthalmic diagnosis fields, such as biological microscopes, cell culture observation systems, and ultra-wide field retinal imaging devices.

(Regarding Revision of Reportable Business Segments)

Since April 1, 2020, there has been a business transfer in order to expand the business related to semiconductor lithography. In accordance with this business transfer, the business for semiconductor-related products within Industrial Metrology and Others, which are operations not included in the reportable segments, has been integrated to the Precision Equipment Business from the quarter ended June 30, 2020.

The segment information for the nine months ended December 31, 2019 has been prepared based on the revised business segments.

(2) Information on Reportable Business Segments

Profit or loss of reportable segments is based on operating profit. The intersegment revenues are based on current market prices.

Information on revenue and profit (loss) by reportable segments is as follows.

(Impairment Losses)

Impairment Losses of Non-financial Assets

For the nine months ended December 31, 2020 (From April 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020)

Impairment losses on property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets of 18,868 million yen are recognized in total for the nine months ended December 31, 2020.

Impairment losses of 15,498 million yen for the Imaging Products Business and 2,603 million yen for the Industrial Metrology and Others are recognized, as some of the manufacturing subsidiaries located mainly in Thailand and Japan recognize impairment losses. The Group reviewed the future plan for the Imaging Products Business that took into consideration the acceleration of the shrinking trend of the digital camera market due to the impact of the spread of COVID-19. Due to the change of the plan, as a result of measuring the recoverable amount of the cash-generating units in which impairment was indicated, the recoverable amount is lower than the carrying amount of non-current assets, and impairment losses are recognized.

In addition, as a result of investigating the future prospects of non-current assets, the Company and consolidated subsidiaries located in Japan have reduced the carrying amount of idle assets that did not have an expected specific use in the future to its recoverable amount and recognize impairment losses of 123 million yen for the Imaging Products Business and 644 million yen for the Industrial Metrology and Others.

The recoverable amount is mainly based on the fair value less costs of disposal.

Impairment losses are recognized in "Other expenses" in the condensed consolidated statement of profit or loss.

(Contingent Liabilities)

(Litigation)

The Company and its group companies are exposed throughout their business activities to the possibility of being involved in a contentious case, becoming a defendant in a lawsuit, and being the object of inquiries by government agencies, in Japan and overseas. The Company and its group companies examine the possibility of recognizing a provision for the obligation arising from a contentious case or a lawsuit, when it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.

The Company's subsidiary in India (hereinafter referred as "Subsidiary in India") was inquired by the Indian Tax Authority regarding the import of the Company's digital cameras, and in October 2016, the imposition was confirmed in relation to the customs duty, interest, and penalty concerning those products. In January 2017, the Subsidiary in India appealed to the Customs, Excise and Service Tax Appellate Tribunal; however, the appeal was dismissed in December 2017. To object to this decision, in January 2018, the Subsidiary in India filed an appeal to the Supreme Court of India, which was admitted in March 2018 for the final hearing and decision. As it is currently unable to forecast the final decision, the provision is not recognized in accordance with the aforementioned accounting policy.

In regard to any other cases, no significant impact on the Company's consolidated performance and financial position is expected at this point in time.
