I. Operating Results and Financial Conditions

2009 Second Quarter in Review

Looking back at the global economy in the second quarter of 2009, conditions continued to be severe. In the United States, despite signs of a slight improvement in exports and consumer spending, capital spending dropped significantly and the economic slowdown continued. In Europe, the economic recession intensified due to declines in capital investment along with depressed consumer spending. Across Asia, while economic conditions for the region overall remained weak, the Chinese economy began showing signs of a turnaround as the economic stimulus measures began taking effect. In Japan, the impact of the worsening global economy continued to be felt, resulting in drops in both exports and capital investment along with flagging consumer spending due to deteriorating employment conditions and other factors.

As for the markets in which Canon operates amid these conditions, within the office imaging products market, demand for network digital multifunction devices (MFDs) decreased in each region, leading to continued sluggish sales for monochrome and color models. In the computer peripherals market, demand was weak for color and low-end laser beam printers, which had been driving recent demand, resulting in a drop below the year-ago level. With regard to inkjet printers, demand continued to decrease for both single-function and multifunction models, resulting in a contraction of the market compared with the same period for the previous year. As for the cameras segment, while demand for digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras achieved solid growth, demand for compact digital cameras remained sluggish amid further price declines. In the optical equipment segment, demand dramatically diminished for steppers, utilized in the production of semiconductors, while demand for aligners, used to produce liquid crystal display (LCD) panels, reversed to negative growth due to falling prices of LCD panels. The average value of the yen during the second-quarter was ¥97.19 to the U.S. dollar, a year-on-year appreciation of about ¥7, and ¥132.90 to the euro, a year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥31.

Net sales for the second quarter totaled ¥793.8 billion (U.S.$8,269 million), a year-on-year decline of 28.2%, mainly due to the effects of significantly reduced sales volumes due to decreased demand for office equipment and other products, a trend that continued from the previous quarter, along with the substantial rise in the value of the yen. Net sales for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by 29.9% to ¥1,480.8 billion (U.S.$15,425 million). Despite the launch of new products and ongoing cost-cutting efforts targeting an improved gross profit ratio, such factors as the appreciation of the yen, reduction in sales volumes and falling product prices led to a 5.5 point decline in the ratio to 43.5% for the quarter and 43.5% for the first six months. Consequently, gross profit decreased by 36.2% to ¥345.5 billion (U.S.$3,599 million) for the quarter and by 38.1% to ¥644.3 billion (U.S.$6,711 million) for the six-month period. Although operating expenses declined by 21.2% owing to a Group-wide effort to thoroughly curtail expenses, operating profit dropped 72.0% to ¥44.9 billion (U.S.$468 million) for the second quarter and 80.4% to ¥64.9 billion (U.S.$676 million) for the combined first and second quarter period. Other income (deductions) deteriorated by ¥21.9 billion (U.S.$228 million), mainly due to currency exchange losses and losses on investments in equity method affiliates. As a result, income before income taxes totaled ¥35.5 billion (U.S.$370 million) for the quarter, a decline of 79.4%, and ¥57.9 billion (U.S.$603 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2009, a decline of 82.9%. Net income attributable to Canon Inc. also recorded a decrease of 85.5% to ¥15.6 billion (U.S.$163 million) for the quarter, and a decrease of 84.5% to ¥33.3 billion (U.S.$347 million) for the six-month period.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. stockholders per share was ¥12.64 (U.S.$0.13), a year-on-year decline of ¥72.88 (U.S.$0.76), while the indicator for the six months ended June 30, 2009 decreased by ¥143.07 (U.S.$1.49) to ¥27.01 (U.S.$0.28).

Results by Product Segment

Looking at Canon’s second-quarter performance by business sector, within the business machines segment, demand for office equipment continued to recede amid the rapid deterioration of economic conditions. With respect to office imaging products, while demand for digital commercial printers remained relatively solid, flagging sales in major regions for network digital MFDs along with the strong yen resulted in a year-on-year decline in sales of 30.6% for the quarter and 30.9% for the first six months of the year. In the field of computer peripherals, shrinking sales stemming from continued regulation of shipment volumes to optimize laser beam printer inventories within the market, combined with the impact of appreciation of the yen, resulted in a 36.3% decrease in second-quarter sales year on year, and a 39.2% decrease for the first and second quarters combined. As for inkjet printers, while the global market remains stagnant, sales volume displayed healthy growth in the Americas, which contributed to a year-on-year increase in sales volume for the segment, although the impact of the yen’s appreciation and falling prices resulted in a 16.1% reduction in sales for the quarter, and 21.2% decrease for the first six months of the year. Consequently, sales for the computer peripherals segment overall dropped by 30.9% year on year for the second quarter, and by 34.6% for the first half of the year. As for business information products, reduced sales of personal computers in the Japanese domestic market and other factors led to a sales decline of 16.0% for the quarter, and of 20.1% for the first six months of the year. Collectively, sales of business machines overall totaled ¥486.0 billion (U.S.$5,062 million), down 30.3% for the quarter, and down 32.5% to ¥937.6 billion (U.S.$9,767 million) for the six months ended June 30, 2009. Operating profit totaled ¥55.1 billion (U.S.$573 million) in the second quarter, falling 60.6% mainly due to the significant decrease in gross profit stemming from the reduction in sales for the quarter, and ¥114.2 billion (U.S.$1,189 million) for the first half, falling 62.3%.

Within the cameras segment, the high-resolution, competitively priced EOS Digital Rebel T1i (EOS 500D) and advanced-amateur model EOS 5D Mark II digital SLR cameras continued to enjoy robust sales during the quarter, contributing to growth in sales volume. As for compact digital cameras, although the introduction of four new ELPH (IXUS)-series models and four PowerShot-series models was well received, sales volume overall contracted amid stagnant market conditions. Consequently, along with the impact of the appreciation of the yen, sales for the cameras segment overall declined by 20.7% to ¥246.1 billion (U.S.$2,563 million) for the quarter, and by 22.3% to ¥411.6 billion (U.S.$4,288 million) for the first half of the year. Additionally, operating profit for the sector decreased by 42.0% to ¥38.8 billion (U.S.$404 million) for the quarter, mainly as a result of the drop in sales value coupled with the decline in the gross profit ratio, and declined by 58.6% to ¥46.6 billion (U.S.$486 million) for the first six months of the year.

In the optical and other products segment, sales of steppers remained sluggish due to the worsening of market conditions for memory chips and sales of aligners fell, recording a decline in unit sales compared with the relatively high level of sales volume in the previous year. As a result, second-quarter sales for the segment totaled ¥61.7 billion (U.S.$643 million), a decrease of 37.2%, and ¥131.6 billion (U.S.$1,371 million) for the first six months of the year, a decrease of 32.5%. Operating profit dropped to negative ¥6.4 billion (U.S.$67 million) for the quarter and ¥17.8 billion (U.S.$185 million) for the first half due to the significant drop in sales and other factors.

Cash Flow

In the second quarter of 2009, Canon generated cash flow from operating activities of ¥188.7 billion (U.S.$1,966 million), a decrease of ¥146.9 billion (U.S.$1,530 million) compared with the previous year, mainly reflecting the reduction in consolidated net income. As capital investment was focused on items relevant to introducing new products and achieving cost reductions, cash flow from investing activities totaled ¥218.3 billion (U.S.$2,274 million), a year-on-year decrease of ¥71.2 billion (U.S.$742 million). Accordingly, free cash flow totaled negative ¥29.6 billion (U.S.$309 million), a decrease of ¥75.7 billion (U.S.$788 million) from the year-ago period.

Cash flow from financing activities recorded an outlay of ¥71.4 billion (U.S.$743 million), mainly arising from the dividend payout of ¥67.9 billion (U.S.$707 million). Consequently, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥75.6 billion (U.S.$788 million) to ¥603.6 billion (U.S.$6,287 million) from the end of the previous year.

Outlook

As for the outlook for the global economy in the third quarter and thereafter, some positive signs have begun to appear as various economic stimulus packages and financial policies launched at the national level in response to the current global recession have yielded a degree of results with some leading indicators pointing to a bottoming out. Taking into account such future concerns as climbing unemployment rates in developed countries, considerable time will likely be needed before the global economy realizes a turnaround, but conditions are likely to gradually ease off toward the end of the year.

In the businesses in which Canon is involved, demand for network digital MFDs and laser beam printers is projected to remain sluggish for both color and monochrome models due to market reluctance in purchasing office equipment. Demand for inkjet printers and compact digital cameras is expected to remain stagnant for the time being due to the drop in consumer sentiment resulting from the weak economy, whereas demand for digital SLR cameras is expected to remain strong. With respect to steppers, demand is expected to decline significantly as device makers reassess their capital expenditure plans. As for aligners, although demand will likely fall below the year-ago level, it is anticipated to modestly recover due to an expected increase in production by LCD panel manufacturers.

Amid this environment, Canon will introduce competitive new digital-camera and inkjet-printer products along with other products, and strengthen sales of network MFDs through the launch in the second half of the year of a new brand—imageRUNNER ADVANCE—which incorporates a file server to enable sophisticated interaction with personal computers and realizes enhanced performance in networked office environments.

With regard to currency exchange rates for the third quarter onward, on which Canon’s performance outlook for the full year is based, despite the continued uncertainty over future interest rate policies, economic prospects and other factors for major countries, Canon anticipates exchange rates for the period of ¥95 to the U.S. dollar and ¥130 to the euro, representing an appreciation of approximately ¥7 against the U.S. dollar, and about ¥12 against the euro compared with the previous year. Upon taking into consideration first-quarter and second-quarter business results along with current market conditions based on these foreign exchange rate assumptions, Canon now anticipates net sales of ¥3,200.0 billion (U.S.$33,333 million) and operating profit of ¥190.0 billion (U.S.$1,979 million) for the full year, revising its previously announced projections. Full-year projections for income before income taxes and net income attributable to Canon Inc. remained unchanged at ¥180.0 billion (U.S.$1,875 million) and ¥110.0 billion (U.S.$1,146 million), respectively.

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 planned future investments, free cash flow, and the company’s consolidated business performance. Specifically, Canon’s medium- to long-term objective is to continuously strive to raise its consolidated payout ratio to approximately 30%.

Despite the current harsh environment and reduced profits, the company plans to distribute an interim dividend of ¥55.00 (U.S.$0.57) per share for fiscal 2009, the same amount per share as fiscal 2008, to provide a stable return to shareholders. The year-end dividend, however, has yet to be decided.
