I. Operating Results and Financial Conditions

2016 Second Quarter in Review

Looking back at the global economy in the second quarter of 2016, the U.S. economy continued recovering smoothly as consumer spending and employment conditions improved. In Europe, the economy recovered moderately centered on Germany. In contrast, the Chinese economy continued its deceleration and the economies of emerging countries, including those of Southeast Asia and Russia, remained stagnant owing to the depreciation of local currencies. In Japan, corporate capital investments showed signs of recovery and employment conditions continued to improve. As a result, the global economy overall continued to realize moderate growth.

As for the markets in which Canon operates amid these conditions, demand for office multifunction devices (MFDs) remained at around the same level as for the previous year, while the market for laser printers shrunk mainly in emerging countries. As for cameras, although demand for interchangeable-lens digital cameras continued to gradually recover in developed countries, sales volumes of digital compact cameras declined in all regions due to the increasing popularity of smartphones. Additionally, demand for inkjet printers continued to decline in all regions. Within the Industry and Others sector, however, demand for lithography equipment used in the production of flat panel displays (FPDs) and manufacturing equipment for organic LED (OLED) displays enjoyed strong growth thanks to active capital investment by panel manufacturers.

The average value of the yen during the second quarter was ¥108.08 against the U.S. dollar, a year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥13, and ¥121.94 against the euro, a year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥13, which had a negative impact on net sales of ¥75.8 billion and on operating profit of ¥30.2 billion. As for the first half of the year, the average value of the yen was ¥111.28 against the U.S. dollar, a year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥9, and ¥124.33 against the euro, a year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥10, which had a negative impact on net sales of ¥106.8 billion and on operating profit of ¥43.5 billion.

During the second quarter, although office MFDs enjoyed solid demand, mainly for color models, total sales volume of laser printers declined due to the contraction of the market. Demand for interchangeable-lens digital cameras remained firm in the U.S. and Western European nations with unit sales remaining essentially unchanged from the same period of the previous year. As for digital compact cameras, unit sales declined in all regions compared with the previous year. Looking at inkjet printers, despite the shrinking market, sales volume remained at approximately the same level as for the previous year thanks to such factors as expanded sales of models equipped with large-capacity ink tanks for emerging countries. Also, sales of industrial equipment increased, particularly systems used in the production of FPDs and OLED displays. Consequently, along with the negative impact of the appreciation of the yen, second-quarter net sales decreased 11.7% year on year to ¥860.2 billion. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2016 totaled ¥1,657.5 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 9.5%. The gross profit ratio decreased by 1.4 points year on year to 50.3% due to the negative effect of the yen’s appreciation. Despite a reduction in operating expenses of 8.8% year on year thanks to Group-wide efforts to reduce spending, second-quarter operating profit decreased by 34.5% to ¥68.6 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥13.9 billion due to foreign currency exchange gains while income before income taxes decreased by 21.5% year on year to ¥81.0 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. decreased by 21.6% to ¥53.4 billion. Operating profit for the first half of the year decreased by 36.4% to ¥108.7 billion while income before income taxes decreased by 23.0% to ¥126.8 billion and first-half net income attributable to Canon Inc. decreased by 20.3% to ¥81.4 billion.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥48.94 for the second quarter, a year-on-year decrease of ¥13.51, and ¥74.57 for the first half, a year-on-year decrease of ¥18.95.

Results by Segment

Looking at Canon’s second-quarter performance by business unit, beginning with the Office Business Unit, unit sales for office MFDs overall increased from the same period of the previous year thanks to strong sales of color models led by small-office/home-office color A3 (12”x18”) imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3300-series models that were launched in the previous year, and the imagePRESS C10000VP series, which targets the production market. Among high-speed continuous-feed printers and wide-format printers, the Océ-produced VarioPrint i300, a high-speed sheet-fed color inkjet press, has been steadily receiving orders. As for laser printers, although sales continued to decrease significantly from the first quarter of 2016 due to the impact of economic stagnation in emerging countries, in order to ensure profitability, Canon shifted its sales strategy from a focus on expanding sales volume of low-end models to expanding sales of high-added-value models mainly in developed countries. These factors, coupled with the negative effect of unfavorable currency exchange rates, resulted in total sales for the business unit of ¥456.4 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 15.0%, while operating profit totaled ¥47.6 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 40.0%. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥910.7 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 14.6%, while operating profit totaled ¥92.3 billion, a year-on-year decline of 38.9%.

Within the Imaging System Business Unit, unit sales of interchangeable-lens digital cameras remained at around the same level as the previous year owing to healthy demand for the professional-model EOS-1D X Mark II and advanced-amateur-model EOS 80D digital SLR cameras, which were launched this year, and an increase in sales volume in Japan and other Asian markets of the EOS M3 and M10 compact-system cameras, which were released the previous year. As for digital compact cameras, although sales volume declined amid the ongoing contraction of the market, high-added-value models that deliver high image quality, such as PowerShot G-series cameras, enjoyed solid demand. As for inkjet printers, unit sales remained at approximately the same level thanks to strong demand for models equipped with large-capacity ink tanks targeting emerging countries, which were launched in the previous year, and for the new imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 professional-model A2 photo printer. As a result of these factors, along with the negative effect of unfavorable currency exchange rates, sales for the business unit decreased by 13.5% to ¥287.5 billion, while operating profit totaled ¥43.2 billion, a year-on-year decline of 14.4%. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥522.4 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 12.2%, while operating profit totaled ¥62.8 billion, declining 21.1% year on year.

In the Industry and Others Business Unit, although unit sales of semiconductor lithography equipment decreased from the same period of the previous year, orders continued to hold firm. As for FPD lithography equipment, unit sales increased amid sales growth for systems used in the fabrication of large-size panels. Also, sales of manufacturing equipment for OLED displays, which is sold by Canon Tokki, increased amid brisk capital investment by panel manufacturers. As for network cameras, Axis, which was newly consolidated in the second quarter of the previous year, posted healthy sales growth. Consequently, sales for the business unit increased 5.8% year on year to ¥138.0 billion while operating profit increased by ¥3.6 billion to ¥0.5 billion. Sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥268.1 billion, a year-on-year increase of 22.1%. As for operating profit, despite an improvement of ¥10.8 billion compared with the previous year, the business unit was in the red by ¥0.1 billion owing to upfront investment in next-generation technologies and new businesses.

Cash Flow

During the first half of 2016, cash flow from operating activities totaled ¥241.2 billion, an increase of ¥16.5 billion compared with the previous year owing to improvements in working capital, such as trade receivables. Cash flow from investing activities increased ¥470.1 billion year on year to ¥776.1 billion due to the payment for the right to acquire all of the ordinary shares of Toshiba Medical Systems Corporation (TMSC). Accordingly, free cash flow totaled negative ¥534.9 billion, a decrease of ¥453.6 billion compared with the corresponding year-ago period.

Cash flow from financing activities recorded proceeds of ¥519.9 billion, mainly owing to a provisional bank borrowing related to TMSC.

Owing to these factors, as well as the negative impact from foreign currency translation adjustments, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥64.4 billion to ¥569.2 billion from the end of the previous year.

Outlook

As for the outlook in the third quarter onward, the U.S. economy is expected to continue to lead the recovery of the global economy while the outlook for the Japanese economy indicates a recovery trend supported by improved employment conditions. Looking at China, sluggish capital investment and other factors are expected to result in a continuation of the gradual economic slowdown. As for emerging economies, such as those of Southeast Asia, Brazil and Russia, despite signs of recovery that were mainly driven by domestic demand, the outlook indicates the need for more time before a true recovery takes hold. With regard to the European economy, the victory of the “Vote Leave” campaign in the U.K.’s EU referendum has led to growing concern over an economic slowdown in the region and, consequently, rising uncertainty about the degree of recovery that can be expected for the global economy.

In the businesses in which Canon is involved, demand for office MFDs is projected to expand moderately, mainly for color models, while demand in the laser printer market is expected to remain low for the time being. Despite the expected modest recovery in demand for interchangeable-lens digital cameras centered mainly on developed countries, projections for digital compact cameras indicate continued market contraction in all regions, centered mainly on low-priced models. With regard to inkjet printers, demand is expected to continue to decline. As for industrial equipment, customers are expected to continue making capital outlays for semiconductor lithography equipment, FPD lithography equipment and OLED display manufacturing equipment, driven by increased demand for communication devices supporting the development of the IoT (Internet of Things) and for OLED displays. The network camera market is also expected to grow in response to increasing global safety and security needs.

With regard to currency exchange rates for the third quarter onward, on which Canon’s performance outlook is based, Canon anticipates exchange rates of ¥105 to the U.S. dollar and ¥115 to the euro, representing appreciations of approximately ¥13 against the U.S. dollar and approximately ¥15 against the euro compared with the annual average rates of the previous year.

Upon taking into consideration the prolonged economic slowdown in developing countries, along with the negative impact of the revised foreign exchange rate assumptions on sales and gross profit, Canon projects full-year consolidated net sales in 2016 of ¥3,520.0 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 7.4%; operating profit of ¥265.0 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 25.4%; income before income taxes of ¥280.0 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 19.4%; and net income attributable to Canon Inc. of ¥180.0 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 18.3%.

The impact of the acquisition of TMSC has not been included in the Consolidated Outlook for the reason that the clearance process by necessary competition regulatory authorities is still ongoing in some countries and regions outside Japan.

Basic Policy Regarding Profit Distribution

Canon is being more proactive in returning profits to shareholders, mainly in the form of a dividend, taking into consideration medium-term profit forecasts along with planned future investments, cash flow and other factors.

Canon Inc. plans to distribute an interim dividend of ¥75.00 per share for the fiscal year 2016, half the amount of the annual dividend paid out in fiscal 2015, to provide a stable return to shareholders. The year-end dividend, however, has yet to be decided.

Discontinue disclosure of “SEGMENT INFORMATION BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA”

In addition to the disclosure requirements under Topic 280, Canon has disclosed the segment information, “SEGMENT INFORMATION BY GEOGRAPHIC AREA”, which is based on the location of Canon Inc. and its subsidiaries. Results from a survey of a representative sample of financial statement users, however, indicated that they consider the latter to be less useful than sales information based on the location where the product is shipped to customers, which is disclosed separately. For this reason, Canon decided to discontinue the disclosure of geographical segment information based on the location of Canon Inc. and its subsidiaries from this year, in order to avoid the risk of confusing users due to disclosing two similar types of geographical information and make disclosure more concise and transparent. Sales information based on the location where the products is shipped to customers is available on page 9 “3. DETAILS OF SALES in II. Financial Statements”.

Recently Issued Accounting Guidance

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued an amendment which requires deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in the consolidated balance sheets. Canon early adopted this amended guidance from the quarter beginning January 1, 2016, on a prospective basis, and prior periods were not retrospectively adjusted. Canon’s current deferred tax assets were ¥55,108 million and current deferred tax liabilities were ¥2,682 million as of December 31, 2015.

9. NOTE FOR NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

We have reported our financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (U.S. GAAP). In addition, we have discussed our results using “Free cash flow” which is non-GAAP measure.

We believe this measure is beneficial to an investor’s understanding on Canon’s current liquidity and the alternatives of use in financing activities because it takes into consideration its operating and investing activities.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP are set forth on the following table.
