Information Solutions (1st Half Fiscal 2007 Earnings)

In the Information Solutions segment, higher sales of medical imaging products and services centered on SYNAPSE picture archiving and communications systems and strong demand for FPD materials were principal factors boosting consolidated revenue to ¥542.6 billion, up 11.8% from the same period of the previous year.

Operating income for this segment surged strongly in a manner similar to that of the Imaging Solutions segment. The Information Solutions segment's operating income amounted to ¥66.0 billion, up 88.2% from the level in the same period of the previous fiscal year. Although the continued high prices of aluminum and silver had an impact on profitability, 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 systems and benefits from yen depreciation.
