The earnings call highlighted strong performance in the Imaging Products and Digital Manufacturing businesses and shareholder returns, but faced significant challenges in the semiconductor and components sectors, leading to a downward revision in financial forecasts.
Company Guidance
In the Q2 2025 earnings call for Nikon Corporation, significant metrics and strategic directions were discussed. The company reported a revenue of JPY 332.7 billion and an operating profit of JPY 5.8 billion for the first half of the year, with a profit attributable to owners of JPY 2.9 billion. The Imaging Products Business showed a strong performance, with revenue increasing by JPY 14.1 billion year-on-year to JPY 151.7 billion, supported by robust sales of mirrorless cameras. However, the Precision Equipment Business faced challenges, with revenue decreasing by JPY 14.5 billion to JPY 81.5 billion due to postponed sales and decreased demand for semiconductor lithography systems. The company has revised its full year revenue forecast down by JPY 25 billion to JPY 725 billion and its operating profit forecast down by JPY 13 billion to JPY 22 billion, citing delays in customer investments. Despite these challenges, Nikon plans a JPY 30 billion share buyback and aims to strengthen its management base while continuing to invest in growth drivers like digital lithography systems and contract cell manufacturing, which is expected to generate close to JPY 1 billion in operating profit this fiscal year.
Imaging Products Business Performance
