Hoya Corporation (TOKYO: 7741) today announced financial results
for the second quarter ended September 30, 2017.
During the quarter, revenue of the HOYA Group increased 18.2%
year on year, reaching 135,772 million yen. Pre-tax profit amounted
to 32,868 million yen with 26,767 million yen in profit,
representing increases of 3.9% and 7.9%, respectively.
In the Life Care segment, sales of eyeglass lenses rose, mainly
overseas and in response to business acquisitions. Medical
endoscopes experienced improved sales, pushed mainly by performance
in Europe and Asia. New products drove sales of intraocular lenses
as well. As a result, the Life Care segment as a whole reported
higher sales year on year.
The Information Technology segment also reported higher revenues
year on year, driven by stronger demands in semiconductor devices
and glass substrates for hard disk drives. Imaging-related product
sales increased as well due to an expansion of new
applications.
For the six months ended September 30, 2017, HOYA posted record
revenues of 262,930 million yen and record profit for the term of
51,960 million yen, representing increases of 14.3% and 21.4%,
respectively.
“The Life Care segment delivered sales increase of 9.4% without
exchange gain this quarter,” said Hiroshi Suzuki, president and
chief executive officer of HOYA. “We expect the segment
profitability to improve in the second half as post-merger
integration completes.”
HOYA also announced the interim dividends of 30 yen per share of
common stock.
