Fujifilm must be doing something right - it's results for the 3rd quarter (Japanese FY) are up 8% over 2023. Business Innovation, including Graphic Communications, was up 4.7% year-on-year.
Fujifilm Holdings Corporation has announced its financial results for the 3rd quarter, which ended December 31st, 2024. In the first nine month of the Japanese fiscal year which ends in March 2025, revenue increased by 8.0% year-over-year to JPY2,327.5 billion (approx. AUD$24 billion), mainly due to strong sales in the Electronics and Imaging businesses, and the favorable impact of exchange rates. Operating income also benefited from the revenue growth and exchange rate impact, amounting to JPY223.3 billion, an increase of 9.0% year-over-year.
Globally, Fujifilm Holdings includes Graphic Communications (wide format, CtP, plates) under 'Business Innovation' but, following the dissolution of the Fuji Xerox joint venture, Graphic Communications has existed as a separate business unit. However, the company has announced the two business units will become one from April 1st 2025.
Net income attributable to Fujifilm Holdings increased by 4.5% year-over-year to JPY181.5 billion. The full-year consolidated forecast for the fiscal year ending March 2025 remains unchanged from the previous forecast, with some adjustments between the businesses, reflecting the strong performance of the Electronics and Imaging segment, as well as favorable exchange rates. The forecasted revenue is JPY3,150.0 billion, with operating income of JPY315.0 billion, and net income attributable to Fujifilm Holdings of JPY250.0 billion, aiming to achieve record highs. The annual dividend forecast for the fiscal year is JPY60 per share, marking the 15th consecutive annual dividend increase.
