Interim Report for the 115th Business Term
To Our Shareholders
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We would like to present our report for the summary of the first half of our 115th business term (from January 1, 2015 to June 30,
2015). |
|
|
|
|
|
In the world economy during the first half of the current business term, the U.S. continued to
experience a steady recovery and the European economy was also picking up, led by the U.K. and Germany. However, the slowdown in the pace of economic expansion in China continued from last year and the economy in Southeast Asia also slowed down. The
Japanese economy continued to recover at a moderate pace as can be seen by, for example, the signs of recovery in corporate earnings. Regarding the results of the Canon Group, in the Office Business Unit, in addition to the robust sales of office multifunction devices (MFDs) and laser printers, sales of commercial
printers manufactured by Océ grew steadily. In the Imaging System Business Unit, although unit sales for digital cameras overall declined, signs of a partial upswing in demand for interchangeable lens cameras and compact cameras were
observed. Meanwhile, sales of inkjet printers failed to grow, partly reflecting the effect of declining demand in Southeast Asia. In the Industry and Others Business Unit, unit sales of semiconductor lithography equipment increased. Additionally, in
order to further strengthen our network camera business, we welcomed Sweden-based Axis AB – the global leader in network cameras – to the Canon Group. As a result of the above, on a consolidated basis, we recorded net sales of 1,831.9 billion yen (up 2.0% |

| from the first half of the 114th
business term), income before income taxes of 164.5 billion yen (down 16.1%), and net income attributable to Canon Inc. of 102.1 billion yen (down 20.5%) for the first half of the current business term.
For the interim dividend, from the perspective of ensuring a stable return to shareholders, we decided to pay 75.00
yen per share (the interim dividend for the previous business term was 65.00 yen per share). The dividend is payable on August 26. As for our economic outlook, although we cannot be optimistic about the prospects of either the European economy, which is plagued with the Greek debt crisis, or the economies of
China and other Asian countries, we still expect the world economy to continue on the path to moderate recovery.
The Canon Group intends to bring its five-year management plan, Phase IV of our “Excellent Global Corporation
Plan,” to a successful end in the current business term, which is the final year of the plan, by creating a strong business foundation to return to the growth path and make great strides in the next phase.
We look forward to your continued support and encouragement.

“Aiming for the Summit — Speed & Sound Growth —”
Seeking transformation and continued growth, Canon has established six main
strategies Canon has been implementing its
Excellent Global Corporation Plan since 1996
with the goal of becoming a truly excellent global company admired and respected all over the world.
Following its steady implementation of Phases I, II and
III, Canon started Phase IV in 2011. Having
established six main strategies, Canon is undertaking a wide variety of initiatives to achieve its targets for 2015.

Highlights of Consolidated Financial
Results |
|
|
|
|
|
● |
|
In the first half of the current business term, the world economy in general
continued to recover at a moderate pace although economic growth slowed in China and Southeast Asia. In such an environment, we proactively launched new products and continued to expand sales. As a result, our consolidated net sales increased 2.0%
in comparison to the first half of the 114th business term, helped in part by the consolidation of Axis AB. |
|
|
|
|
|
● |
|
Despite our initiatives to improve profitability such as shifting to high value
added products, limiting price reduction, and cutting costs throughout the Canon Group, net income attributable to Canon Inc. decreased 20.5% from the first half of the 114th business term on a consolidated basis, mainly due to increases in R&D
expenses for new business and new products. |

|
| In the area of office MFDs, while the demand for monochrome machines decreased, sales of color machines
were firm. In particular, the “imageRUNNER ADVANCE C5200” series, our main products, continued to perform strongly and the new “C3300” series made an excellent start. In the area of digital production printing systems, sales of
color machines such as the “imagePRESS C800” series were brisk and overall sales including monochrome machines also outperformed the results of the first half of the previous business term. As for Océ, sales of high-speed continuous
feed printers were strong, supported by, among others, the strong demand in the Americas. Unit sales of laser multifunction printers (MFPs) and laser printers increased from the first half of the previous business term mainly due to an increase in
demand for high value added products. As a result of the above, sales for this business unit increased by 3.3%
on a consolidated basis, in comparison to the first half of the 114th business term. |

|
| As for interchangeable lens
digital cameras, the market environment remained challenging particularly in Southeast Asia and Russia, but there were some bright signs including increases in unit sales in the Japanese and the U.S. markets from the first half of the previous
business term. In such a situation, the newly launched “EOS M3” and “EOS 5DS/5DS R” were well received in the market. As a whole, the Canon Group maintained a high market share for interchangeable lens digital cameras. In the
area of compact digital cameras, although sales decreased, profitability improved as the percentage of high value added models in total sales increased. As for inkjet printers, we promoted new products with improved connectivity with mobile devices,
and “MAXIFY,” targeting business users, which resulted in unit sales growth in the U.S. and Western European markets. However, overall unit sales decreased from the first half of the previous business term due to such factors as economic
slowdown and increased competition in Asia as well as the shrinking Japanese market. On the other hand, sales of large-format inkjet printers were favorable and sales volume increased from the first half of the previous business
term. |
|
|
|
| As a result of the above, sales for this business unit decreased by 4.8% on a consolidated basis, in
comparison to the first half of the 114th business term. |

| Semiconductor lithography
equipment was supported by the demand arising from the production of memory devices, image sensors, power semiconductors, etc., and, in particular, unit sales of i-line lithography equipment increased significantly. As for FPD lithography equipment,
orders were received and products were shipped steadily, supported by healthy capital investment for large-size panels such as 4K displays. In medical equipment, unit sales of digital radiography systems, our main products, decreased due to
increased competition. However, as a result of our promotion efforts focused on high value added products, sales revenue increased. As for network cameras, sales of products suitable to monitor interiors of shops, factories, etc., increased and high
value added models also received favorable responses. Sales of document scanners manufactured by Canon Electronics Inc. decreased due to sluggish sales in the Americas despite the sales growth in Europe and some other markets.
As a result of the above and the sales contribution of Axis AB, which became our consolidated subsidiary in April, sales
for this business unit increased by 18.7% on a consolidated basis, in comparison to the first half of the 114th business term. |

| Axis AB - the Leader in Network Cameras - Joins Canon Group
|
| Canon, in anticipation of future market expansion, made Sweden-based Axis AB (“Axis”) a consolidated subsidiary
to strengthen its network camera business, which is expected to be the Canon Group’s growth engine. Axis possess both
excellent product development, backed by its leading network video processing technology, and a sales and service network comprising over 75,000 partner companies worldwide. By utilizing these strengths, this exceptional company continues to realize
high growth exceeding market growth and is now a strong contender for top market share by sales revenue. Canon aims to make a
significant forward leap in its network camera business by utilizing the business resources of both Canon and Axis such as by combining the above-mentioned strengths of Axis with Canon’s optical and imaging technologies.

Tsuzuri Project - Donation of “Dragon and Clouds” High-Resolution Facsimiles |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The “Tsuzuri Project” (Official Title: Cultural Heritage Inheritance Project), which aims to preserve original
art works at the same time as providing an opportunity for art appreciation by creating high-resolution facsimiles of Japan’s precious cultural heritage through the combination of Canon’s digital technology and Kyoto traditional
craftsmanship, is now in its eighth year of operation. In March 2015, the project donated high-resolution facsimiles for the
entire eight panels of “Dragon and Clouds” (owned by the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, U.S.), an ink painting by Edo-era artist Soga Shohaku, to the Tenryuji Temple in Kyoto.
Features, such as the dragon’s humorous expression, its nails drawn with thick, strong curves, and the clouds uniquely shaded with ink,
were faithfully reproduced by the facsimiles, which possessed the same powerful presence and beauty as the original. |

Canon’s Toner Cartridge Recycling Program Celebrates 25th Anniversary |
|

|
|
Canon’s Toner Cartridge Recycling Program has now been running 25 years since it was founded in 1990. This program has
been collecting and recycling used toner cartridges of copiers and laser printers. The program has now been expanded to 24 countries and regions. As of the end of 2014, it has collected an accumulated total of about 340,000 tons of toner cartridges
and achieved accumulated emissions reductions of about 500,000 tons of CO2. In May, the existing automatic recycling system was renewed, and Canon commenced
operation of “CARS-T *,” which realizes a cleaner, quieter recycling environment and an improved recycling volume. Looking forward, Canon will continue to implement initiatives to bring about a resource-recycling society.

| For those
shareholders who receive dividends by way of “Receipt of Dividend” |
|
|
| |
|
| The way to receive dividends is shown on the backside
of “Receipt of Dividend.” We recommend
one of the following three methods as a safer and more expeditious way to receive dividends. For more information, please ask your securities company etc.
|
|
|
| i) |
|
The method of depositing the dividends of all the issues, including shares of Canon Inc., that are managed by a shareholder
using securities company accounts into said securities company accounts. (System of allocating dividends to securities company
accounts in proportion to the number of shares held in respective accounts) |
|
|
|
ii) |
|
The method of transferring the dividends of all the issues, including shares of Canon Inc., held by a shareholder into the same bank deposit account. (System of
receiving dividends in the account registered for receipt of dividends) |
|
|
|
iii) |
|
The method of transferring dividends into an account at a financial institution such as a bank (including Japan Post
Bank). (System of designating an account for each issue held) |
|
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
* It is not possible to use method i) for shares that are managed in a special account.
* In the case of method ii), it is not possible to choose a Japan Post Bank account as the account into which the dividends are transferred. |
