STRATEGY

BUSINESS SEGMENT/ CORPORATE STRUCTURE

Performance in 2021

Following on from 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic continued to affect many aspects of our lives in 2021. Even though the pandemic necessitated numerous restrictions, we began to see economic activity pick up again as the vaccination rollout gained traction and the world adjusted to the reality of having to coexist with the virus. However, in the second half of the term, demand grew sharply on the back of the resumption of economic activity. This resulted in disrupted distribution net-works mainly due to semiconductor and labor shortages, and it even precipitated an inflationary economy on a global scale by driving up the prices of energy resources and commodities.

In this environment, Canon launched a new five-year man-agement plan, Phase VI of the "Excellent Global Corporation Plan," to enhance competitiveness through company-wide organizational realignment and to improve group-wide pro-ductivity through extensive reinforcement of Canon's global headquarter functions under the basic policy of "accelerating our corporate portfolio transformation by improving produc-tivity and creating new businesses."

With office occupancy rates recovering, we saw signs of a re-covery in sales of office multifunction devices (MFDs), while sales of inkjet and laser printers increased thanks to the implementa-tion of remote work and home studying. Sales of commercial

printers rose, thanks to their capacity to produce high-quality images whilst boosting productivity. Sales of full-frame mir-rorless cameras were strong partly thanks to a recovery in the digital interchangeable-lens digital camera market. Sales of network cameras were also buoyed by the resumption of invest-ments in public facilities and the like after grinding to a halt during the COVID-19 pandemic, while sales of video manage-ment systems and video content analytics software were also solid thanks to heightened demand for mainly remote monitor-ing systems. Stronger demand for medical equipment during the pandemic underpinned firm sales, primarily for CT systems and diagnostic ultrasound systems. In addition, production of semiconductor manufacturing equipment continued at maxi-mum capacity due to aggressive investment in equipment by chip makers to meet growing demand and address supply short-ages. Furthermore, sales of flat panel display (FPD) lithography equipment were strong, reflecting solid demand for televisions, laptop computers, and other devices.

As a result, consolidated net sales for this term increased by 11.2% year on year to 3,513.4 billion yen, consolidated income before income taxes increased by 132.4% year on year to 302.7 billion yen, and consolidated net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 157.7% year on year to 214.7 billion yen.
