TOKYO

Hoya Corporation (TOKYO: 7741) today announced financial results for the second quarter ended September 30, 2016.

During the quarter, revenue of the HOYA Group decreased 11.8% year on year, to 114,865 million yen. Due to gains from the sales of securities, profit before tax amounted to 31,637 million yen, while profit for the quarter was 24,819 million yen, which were 6.6% and 8.6% lower, respectively, than in the same quarter last year.

In the Information Technology segment, sales of the mask blanks for semiconductors declined slightly due to the appreciation of the yen. Sales of photomasks for semiconductors and LCDs decreased because of the drop in production capacity owing to closure of the Kumamoto Plant following the Kumamoto earthquakes. Although the unit volume of glass substrates for hard disk drives began to rise, sales of imaging-related products decreased because of a decline in demand and the appreciation of the yen. As a result, sales of the IT segment as a whole decreased compared with the same quarter last year.

In the Life Care segment, sales of contact lenses and intraocular lenses held firm. Sales of eyeglass lenses increased on a local currency basis, mainly in the Americas; however, overall sales in this business decreased in yen terms because of the effects of the appreciation of the yen. Sales of endoscopes also expanded on a local currency basis in the Americas, Europe, and Asia, but decreased in yen terms due to the appreciation of the yen. As a result, sales of the Life Care segment as a whole declined compared with the same quarter last year.

For the six months ended September 30, 2016, revenues totaled 230,030 million yen, decreasing by 10.3% year-on-year. Pre-tax profit was 53,911 million yen and profit for the term was 42,797 million yen, decreasing by 16.8% and 15.7% respectively.

“We see some positive factors in the Life Care segment, in addition to intraocular lens business that continues double-digit growth and is building market share,” said Hiroshi Suzuki, president and chief executive officer of HOYA. “Eyeglass sales in the U.S. continued to grow, and sales in China recovered. In endoscopes business, the margin of decline due to U.S. regulatory issues diminished and sales showed improvement on a local currency basis.”

HOYA also announced the interim dividends of 30 yen per share of common stock.
