Information Solutions (1st Quarter Fiscal 2008 Earnings)

Fujifilm recorded higher sales of such medical imaging products as FCR (Fuji Computed Radiography) systems, dry films, and endoscope products, and sales of FPD materials centered on mainstay FUJITAC and WV Film products continued to be firm. Strong performance was also achieved in office and industrial operations, reflecting growth in sales of lens units for camera phones that accompanied the trend of increasing pixel counts. Consequently, consolidated revenue in this segment grew to ¥262.2 billion, up 12.2% from the same period of the previous year.

Operating income in the Information Solutions segment surged strongly in a manner similar to that of the Imaging Solutions segment. The Information Solutions segment's operating income amounted to ¥33.7 billion, up 114.9% from the same period of the previous fiscal year. Even disregarding the total of ¥6.5 billion in structural reform expenses that was recorded in the same period of the previous fiscal year, pro-forma operating income rose ¥11.5 billion, or 51.8%.

Although the continued high prices of aluminum and silver had an impact on the profitability of some operations, the large rise in operating income reflected the profit increase stemming from higher sales volume as well as cost reductions due to the coordinated reorganization of Imaging Solutions and Information Solutions manufacturing operations and benefits from yen depreciation.
