Operating Results and Financial Conditions

Looking back at the first half of 2023, although economic recovery showed signs of weakness in some regions, there was a moderate recovery overall. By region, in the United States, thanks to the strong employment situation, consumer spending remained steady. In Europe, however, the economy remained stagnant due to the downward pressure caused by rising interest rates. In China, despite domestic demand recovering thanks to the lifting of the government’s Zero-COVID strategy, the demand in real estate markets decreased. In other emerging countries, the economy remained solid, mostly centering around consumer spending and the service industry. In Japan, the economy recovered moderately driven by solid export, the recovery of consumer spending and capital investments.

In the markets in which Canon operates, while concerns about an economic slowdown due to inflation and rising interest rate affected some markets, businesses remained firm thanks to the recovery of supplies following the resolution of component shortages and logistical disruptions. On a product basis, demand for office multifunction devices (MFDs) remained firm thanks to strong demand for high-productivity printing. For inkjet printers, the demand from customers working from home slowed. For laser printers, while demand slowed due to the curbing of corporate investments, new demand was generated through diversifying work styles. For cameras, demand remained solid, mainly for mirrorless cameras. For medical equipment, while there was a drop-off following a period of increased demand last year in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, demand remained firm mainly in Europe. For semiconductor lithography equipment, although demand for memory devices declined, investments stayed robust mainly for power devices, analog devices, and sensors. For FPD (Flat Panel Display) lithography equipment, demand declined due to reduced investments by panel manufacturers.

The average value of the yen during the second quarter and the first half of the year was ¥137.57 and ¥135.09 against the U.S. dollar, respectively, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥8 and a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥12, and ¥149.62 and ¥145.88 against the euro, respectively, a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥12 and a year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥11.

Diluted		64.75		+13.9			56.83

As for the second quarter, net sales for the second quarter increased by 2.2% year-on-year to ¥1,020.9 billion due to solid demand and new products that were well-received in the market, as well as the favorable effects of depreciation of the yen. Net sales for the first half of the year increased by 6.1% year-on-year to ¥1,992.0 billion. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.0 points year-on-year to 47.5% due to well-received adjustments to product prices, improvement of product costs, resulting from easing of component shortages and logistics disruptions, and depreciation of the yen. Gross profit for the second quarter increased by 4.5% year-on-year to ¥484.8 billion. Operating expenses increased by 7.4% year-on-year to ¥392.5 billion due to an increase in sales personnel and sales-related expenses accompanying a growth in sales. In addition, operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies increased due to the depreciation of the yen. As a result, operating profit decreased by 6.3% year-on-year to ¥92.3 billion. On the other hand, operating profit for the first half of the year increased by 1.2% year-on-year to ¥176.7 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥22.1 billion year-on-year to ¥8.9 billion, due to gain on valuation of securities and a decrease of currency exchange losses from liabilities denominated in foreign currencies. As a result, income before income taxes increased by 18.7% year-on-year to ¥101.1 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 10.8% year-on-year to ¥65.4 billion.

Diluted		120.31		+19.4			100.79

As for the first half, net sales increased by 6.1% year-on-year to ¥1,992.0 billion due to a recovery of supply following a shortage of components and logistical disruptions, which had constrained business and solid demand and new products that were well-received in the market, as well as the favorable effects of depreciation of the yen. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales increased by 1.4 points year-on-year to 47.1%, due to well-received adjustments to product prices, improvement of product costs, resulting from easing of component shortages and logistics disruptions, and depreciation of the yen. Gross profit for the first half of the year increased by 9.4% year-on-year to ¥938.8 billion. Operating expenses increased by 11.4% year-on-year to ¥762.0 billion, due to an increase in sales personnel and sales-related expenses accompanying a growth in sales. In addition, operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies increased due to the depreciation of the yen. As a result, operating profit for the first half of the year increased by 1.2% year-on-year to ¥176.7 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥11.9 billion year-on-year to ¥33.6 billion, due to gain on valuation of securities and a decrease of currency exchange losses from liabilities denominated in foreign currencies.

Operating Profit		109,912		-8.0			119,515
Income before income taxes		114,726		-9.1			126,275

As for the Printing Business Unit, MFDs for offices continued to sell well, significantly exceeding unit sales of the same period from the previous year, as the product supply shortage was abated, while demand for products including the imageRUNNER ADVANCE DX C5800 mid-speed color MFD series were solid. As for inkjet printers, the number of unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year as the surge in demand from users working from home subsided. As for laser printers, the number of unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year, when supplies of products recovered, partly due to the curbing of corporate investments. Regarding equipment for the production printing market, the number of unit sales increased compared with the same period of the previous year, with the new strengthened product lineup of imagePRESS V series models strengthened by the addition of the imagePRESS V1350. As a result, sales of the Printing Business Unit increased by 5.1% year-on-year to ¥1,133.1 billion. Due to such effects as weak consumables sales, net income before tax for the first half of year decreased by 9.1% year-on-year to ¥114.7 billion.

	Six months ended June 30, 2023		Change			Six months ended June 30, 2022

Operating Profit		71,708		+56.8			45,728
Income before income taxes		72,473		+55.5			46,609

As for the Imaging Business Unit, Unit sales of the interchangeable-lens digital cameras, increased due to steady sales of the EOS R6 Mark II full-frame mirrorless camera, EOS R7 and EOS R10 APS-C size mirrorless cameras, released last year. The new entry-level EOS R50 and EOS R100 models, launched this year, were also well-received in the market. The market demand for some models even surpassed production capacity. Unit sales of lenses surpassed those of the same period of the previous year thanks to strong sales of RF-series interchangeable-lenses. Sales of network cameras increased thanks to strong demand and enhanced sales activity that leveraged the products’ expanding range of applications.

(2)

Operating Results and Financial Conditions (continued)

As a result, sales for the first half of the Imaging Business Unit increased by 15.0% year-on-year to ¥219.2 billion, while net income before tax for the first half increased by 55.5% compared with the same period of the previous year to ¥72.5 billion as a result of improved profitability due to an enhanced product mix that included new products and non-recurring expenses incurred to close a certain production facility in previous year.


Medical Business Unit	Millions of yen (except percentage data)
	Six months ended June 30, 2023		Change			Six months ended June 30, 2022
Net sales:
External customers total		256,628		+8.6	%		236,234

Operating Profit		11,296		-22.7			14,622
Income before income taxes		11,308		-24.7			15,020

As for the Medical Business Unit, while there was a drop-off following a period of increased demand last year in response to COVID-19, sales remained firm mainly in Europe. As a result, sales of the Medical Business Unit increased by 8.8% year-on-year to ¥257.2 billion. Net income before taxes for the first half decreased by 24.7% year-on-year to ¥11.3 billion due to an increase in personnel to strengthen sales.


Industrial Business Unit	Millions of yen (except percentage data)
	Six months ended June 30, 2023		Change			Six months ended June 30, 2022
Net sales:
Optical equipment		90,602		-9.3	%		99,916
Industrial equipment		40,251		-5.5			42,609

External customers total		130,853		-8.2			142,525

Operating Profit		19,502		-29.8			27,772
Income before income taxes		19,779		-31.0			28,672

As for the Industrial Business Unit, the number of semiconductor lithography equipment sold exceeded that of the same period of the previous year, supported by strengthened production capacity, and led by continued strong demand for power devices. For FPD lithography equipment, unit sales decreased compared with previous year due to reduced investments by panel manufacturers as the panel market worsened. As a result, net sales of the Industrial Business Unit decreased by 6.7% year-on-year to ¥136.9 billion, and net income before tax for the first half decreased by 31.0% year-on-year to ¥19.8 billion.

Financial Conditions


	Millions of yen (except percentage data)
	June 30, 2023			Change		December 31, 2022
Total assets		5,571,311			+475,781		5,095,530
Total liabilities		2,026,252			+279,752		1,746,500
Canon Inc. shareholders’ equity		3,301,352			+188,247		3,113,105

Canon Inc. shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets		59.3	%		-1.8		61.1	%

Total assets increased by ¥475.8 billion to ¥5,571.3 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to the end of the previous year, mainly due to the increase of cash and cash equivalents and inventories, combined with the impact of the depreciation of the yen. Inventories increased due to delays in delivery of some key parts and work in process inventory to prepare for the expected increase in production in the next quarter. Total liabilities increased by ¥279.8 billion to ¥2,026.3 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to the end of previous year, mainly due to the increase of short-term loans. The balance of total equity increased by ¥196.0 billion to ¥3,545.1 billion at June 30, 2023 compared to the end of previous year, mainly due to the accumulation of net income attributable to Canon Inc. and the increase of accumulated other comprehensive income resulting from the depreciation of the yen although the payment of dividends to Canon Inc. shareholders and the repurchases of treasury stock decreased total equity. As a result, Canon Inc. shareholders’ equity as a percentage of total assets declined by 1.8 points to 59.3% compared to the end of the previous year. However, Canon continuously has achieved its goal of developing a solid financial base, measured as equity as a percentage of total assets.

Net cash provided by operating activities		154,057			+25,478		128,579
Net cash used in investing activities		(94,369	)		-10,974		(83,395	)

Cash and cash equivalents at end of period		542,209			+87,887		454,322

In the first half of the year, cash flow from operating activities increased by ¥25.5 billion year-on-year to ¥154.1 billion as a result of an increase in profit and working capital improvement, such as trade receivables. Cash flow used in investing activities increased by ¥11.0 billion to ¥94.4 billion from the same period of the previous fiscal year, when income temporarily increased due to the sales of an overseas branch office despite decrease in purchase of securities. Canon defines “free cash flow” as cash flows from operating activities less cash flows from investing activities. Free cash flow increased by ¥14.5 billion compared with the previous year to ¥59.7 billion.

Cash flow from financing activities increased by ¥121.2 billion year-on-year to ¥98.7 billion due to the increase in short-term loans despite increased dividend payouts of ¥3.4 billion and repurchases of ¥58.1 billion of treasury stock.

Owing to these factors, as well as the impact from foreign currency exchange adjustments, cash and cash equivalents increased by ¥180.1 billion to ¥542.2 billion from the end of the previous year.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable measure calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP is set forth on the following table.

If a proposal for the approval of a merger agreement under which the Company will become a dissolved company, a proposal for the approval of a company split agreement or a company split plan under which the Company will become a split company or a proposal for the approval of a share exchange agreement or a share transfer plan under which the Company will become a wholly owned subsidiary is approved by the Company’s shareholders at a Meeting of Shareholders (or by the Board of Directors if no resolution of a Meeting of Shareholders is required for such approval), the Company will be entitled to acquire the stock acquisition rights, without compensation, on a date separately designated by the Board of Directors.

Since then, under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Company has prepared its annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and filed them with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F. The Company’s ADRs were listed on the NYSE in September 2000 after being quoted on NASDAQ from February 1972 to September 2000. On February 24, 2023, the Company filed Form 25 with the SEC in connection with the delisting from the NYSE. The delisting became effective on March 6, 2023. In the future, the Company plans to file an application for the termination of registration of its ADRs with the SEC when the requirements have been met.

Canon’s quarterly consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of U.S. GAAP. Certain footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP have been condensed or omitted.

Canon has reclassified certain items in the consolidated statements of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022 to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies that were accounted for by the equity method as of June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are summarized as follows:


	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022

Recent Accounting Guidance

Recently adopted accounting guidance

In October 2021, ASU No. 2021-08, “Accounting for Contract Assets and Contract Liabilities from Contracts with Customers”-ASC 805 (“Business Combinations”), was issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The standard requires us to apply ASC 606 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” to recognize and measure contract assets and contract liabilities acquired in a business combination. Canon adopted the standard from interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In March 2022, ASU No. 2022-02, “Troubled Debt Restructurings and Vintage Disclosures”-ASC 326 (“Credit Losses”), was issued by FASB. The standard requires us to expand disclosures for certain loan re-financings and restructurings, and requires current-period gross write-offs by year of origination for financing receivables and net investments in leases. Canon adopted the standard from interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In September 2022, ASU No. 2022-04, “Disclosure of Supplier Finance Program Obligations”-ASC 405-50 (“Liabilities - Supplier Finance Programs”), was issued by FASB. The standard requires entities that use supplier finance programs in connection with the purchase of goods and services to disclose the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding at the end of the reporting period, including a rollforward of those obligations. Canon adopted the standard, which requires disclosure of the key terms of the programs and information about obligations outstanding, from interim and annual reporting periods beginning January 1, 2023. The standard’s requirement to disclose a rollforward of obligations outstanding is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2023. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition. For further information, please refer to Note 7.

Canon has policies in place to ensure that its products are sold to customers with an appropriate credit history, and continuously monitors its customers’ credit quality based on information including length of period in arrears, macroeconomic conditions, initiation of legal proceedings against customers and bankruptcy filings. The allowance for credit losses of lease receivables is evaluated collectively based on historical experiences of credit losses and reasonable and supportable forecasts. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when Canon becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings. Lease receivables which are past due or individually evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are not significant.

Revenue

Canon recognizes contract assets primarily for unbilled receivables mainly arising from services contracts for the products of the Printing Business Unit. Contract assets are reclassified to trade receivables when they are billed under the terms of the contract. The difference between the opening and closing balances of contract assets primarily results from the timing difference of Canon’s performance and billing to customers. Contract assets at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were ¥51,426 million and ¥39,251 million respectively, and are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets.

Canon typically bills to the customer when the performance obligation is satisfied and collects the payment in relatively short term except for certain maintenance service of the products of the Printing Business Unit and the Medical Business Unit and certain industrial equipment for which Canon occasionally receives the payment in advance from customers. The amount received in excess of revenue recognized is recorded as deferred revenue until the performance obligation for distinct goods or services are satisfied. Deferred revenue at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 was ¥147,194 million and ¥141,840 million, respectively, and are included in other current liabilities and other non-current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2023, which had been included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2022, was ¥76,501 million.

Remaining performance obligations for products and equipment at June 30, 2023 primarily arise from the sales of certain industrial equipment, amounting to ¥158,675 million, 68% of which is expected to be recognized as revenue within one year, 31% is within two years and the remaining 1% is within three years. Disclosure of remaining performance obligations is not required for the majority of service since the related revenue is recognized on an as billed basis applying the right to invoice practical expedient or is generated from the contracts with original expected duration of less than one year. Service revenue recognized from the fixed maintenance service contracts for the products of the Printing Business Unit and the Medical Business Unit with original expected duration of more than one year is ¥55,503 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and the average remaining period for these fixed contracts at June 30, 2023 is about two years.

Disaggregated revenues by business unit, product and geographic area are described in Note 19.

(13)	Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk management policy

Canon operates internationally, exposing it to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are comprised principally of foreign exchange contracts utilized by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to reduce the risk. Canon assesses foreign currency exchange rate risk by continually monitoring changes in the exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Canon does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for speculative purposes. Canon is also exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but it is not expected that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. Most of the counterparties are internationally recognized financial institutions and selected by Canon taking into account their financial condition, and contracts are diversified across a number of major financial institutions.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk management

Canon’s international operations expose Canon to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Canon uses foreign exchange contracts to manage certain foreign currency exchange exposures principally from the exchange of U.S. dollars and euros into yen. These contracts are primarily used to hedge the foreign currency exposure of forecasted intercompany sales and intercompany trade receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. In accordance with Canon’s policy, a specific portion of foreign currency exposure resulting from forecasted intercompany sales is hedged using foreign exchange contracts which principally mature within three months.

Cash flow hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, including foreign exchange contracts associated with forecasted intercompany sales, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. All amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2023 are expected to be recognized in net sales over the next twelve months. Changes in the fair value of a foreign exchange contract for the period between the date that the forecasted intercompany sales occur and its maturity date are recognized in earnings.

Derivatives not designated as hedges

Canon has entered into certain foreign exchange contracts to primarily offset the earnings impact related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain assets denominated in foreign currencies. Although these foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedges as required in order to apply hedge accounting, the contracts are effective from an economic perspective. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately.

Commitments

As of June 30, 2023, commitments outstanding for the purchase of property, plant and equipment approximated ¥59,437 million, and commitments outstanding for the purchase of parts and raw materials approximated ¥251,095 million.

Guarantees

Canon occupies sales offices and other facilities under lease arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Deposits mainly for restoration made under such arrangements aggregated to ¥10,404 million and ¥10,086 million at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, and are included in noncurrent receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Canon provides guarantees for its employees, affiliates and other companies. The guarantees for the employees are principally made for their housing loans. The guarantees for affiliates and other companies are made for their lease obligations and bank loans to facilitate financing.

Canon would have to perform under a guarantee if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract terms. The contract terms are 1 year to 11 years in case of employees with housing loans, and 1 year to 6 years in case of affiliates and other companies with lease obligations and bank loans. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Canon would have had to make in the event of default is ¥1,665 million at June 30, 2023. The carrying amounts of the liabilities recognized for Canon’s obligations as a guarantor under those guarantees at June 30, 2023 were not significant.

Canon also offers assurance-type warranties under which it generally guarantees the performance of products delivered and services rendered for a certain period or term. Estimated product warranty costs are recorded at the time revenue is recognized and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of income. Estimates for accrued product warranty costs are based on historical experience. Accrued product warranty costs are included in accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and changes in accrued product warranty cost for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022 are summarized as follows:

Legal proceedings

Canon is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Canon has recorded provisions for liabilities when it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Canon reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of the negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, although litigation is inherently unpredictable, Canon believes that any damage amounts claimed in outstanding matters are not a meaningful indicator of Canon’s potential liability. In the opinion of management, any reasonably possible range of losses from outstanding matters would not have a material adverse effect on Canon’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

(16)	Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Fair value of financial instruments

The estimated fair values of Canon’s financial instruments at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 are set forth below. The following summary excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, noncurrent receivables, short-term loans, trade payables and accrued expenses, and the fair values of these instruments approximate their carrying amounts. The summary also excludes investments and derivative instruments which are disclosed in Note 2 and Note 17, and Note 13, respectively.


	Millions of yen
	June 30, 2023						December 31, 2022
	Carrying amount			Estimated fair value			Carrying amount			Estimated fair value
Long-term debt, including current portion of long-term debt		(54,197	)		(54,197	)		(54,205	)		(54,205	)

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value in the above table.

Long-term debt

Canon’s long-term debt instruments are classified as Level 2 instruments and valued based on the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using current market borrowing rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. The levels are more fully described in Note 17.

Limitations of fair value estimates

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Concentrations of credit risk

No single customer accounted for more than 10 percent of consolidated trade receivables as of June 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

(17)	Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is as follows:


Level 1 -		Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2 -		Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 -		Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable, which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in establishing a price.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following tables present Canon’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.

Level 1 investments are comprised principally of Japanese equity securities, which are valued using an unadjusted quoted market price in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2 assets and liabilities are comprised principally of corporate bonds included in cash and cash equivalents, investments or short-term investments, and derivatives. Corporate bonds included in cash and cash equivalents, and investments or short-term investments are valued using quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active or quotes obtained from counterparties or third parties.

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of foreign exchange contracts. Level 2 derivatives are valued using quotes obtained from counterparties or third parties, which are periodically validated by pricing models using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, based on market approach.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

During the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2022, there were no circumstances that required any significant assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.
