“During the nine months ended December 31, 2022 (from April 1, 2022 to December 31, 2022), in the Imaging Products
Business, shipped quantities of products showed a recovery trend as the digital camera market saw an improvement in
problems with procurement of components due in part to the shortage of semiconductors.In the Imaging Products Business, the Group focused on expanding sales of mid- to high-end products and interchangeable
lenses to professionals and hobbyists. Sales of the flagship model, Z 9 full-frame mirrorless camera remained strong. As a
result, the business segment recorded year-on-year increases in both revenue and profit partly because of higher average
unit selling prices and the positive effects of the yen depreciation.”
