The newspaper, Nikkei, says;
***************
- Oly?s revenue exceeds one trillion yen (or US$8.3 billion) for the first time in this fiscal year closing at the end of March.
- Recovery of digital camera business contributes to this record high profit performance.
- On the other hand, in the medical equipment businesses where Olympus has so far enjoyed stable profitability, Olympus will face with much more immense competition from the new emerging merger, Hoya and Pentax.
So Nikkei interviewed Oly?s CEO about their growth stragety.
Nikkei: It looks like imaging division (digital camera division) is in good shape?
CEO: During the past year all manufacturers have seemingly lowered the inventory level of compact digicams and this reduced the burden of the price lowering competition. On top of this we could get benefits of internal cost reduction activities and the currency depreciation against other major currencies.
Niikei: How long do you expect the booming of dSLR markets will continue?
CEO: We donot anticipate that the price levels of compact digicams will largely further go down. Of course, features such as Mp size will improve, while the price would not go up largely, it means actual price-down (to manufacturers). So in terms of monetary value, the increase of revenues from compact digicams will, I?m afraid, slow down. On the other hand we can expect two-digit percentage growth for dSLR markets so we will focus on these markets. [*]
For Christmas sales season, we suffered from shortage of assembly parts for dSLR?s and were forced to revise our sales target for this fiscal year from 400K to 250K units. For the coming spring sales season, we will introduce 3 new models and aim at 500K units in the next fiscal year. We are determined to become a significant player in this market like the Big 2.
Nikkei: Hoya and Pentax merge?
CEO: We are competing agains Pentax in both imaging and medical equipment businesses. The merger will give more competitive powers to Pentax but we will continuously and aggressively pour sufficient cash flows into R&D. In this sense we won?t change our strategies in a massive way. ?
******************
The interview further continues but my interests are narrower and limited to cameras. so finish here.
[*]my remarks: He did not reply to the Q ?until when?? directly but we can guess he judges at least one more year.
