Fujifilm posts 6x Net Profit in April-June

Fujifilm Corp. announced that its net profit during the April-June 2013 period saw a 6x boost year-on-year to 14.9 billion yen, on revenue of 568.7 billion yen (itself a 10% gain). The company’s operational profit also rose 19.9% to 21.5 billion yen. The imaging solutions segments saw its sales rise 0.9% to 86 billion yen, with an operational loss of 900 million yen. This was caused mostly due to sluggish sales of digital cameras, which dropped by 19.8% to 20.6 billion yen. However, the optical devices sales jumped 45% to 16.9 billion yen, and the photo-imaging segment’s sales rose 1.3% to 48.5 billion yen, buoyed by increased sales of photo books, and instant cameras and film.
