Financial Highlights

During the period from January to March of the fiscal year under review, the Japanese economy continued to recover moderately. Despite weak consumer sentiment due to rising prices and other factors, personal consumption continued to show a gradual upward trend, driven by improvements in employment and income conditions. Corporate capital expenditure was robust, chiefly due to investments to replace equipment, enhance production capacity and reduce labor in response to a labor shortage. In particular, appetite for IT investment in manufacturing and financial industries and a wide range of other sectors was high and remained strong.

In these economic conditions, the Canon Marketing Japan Group recorded net sales of 171,666 million yen (up 2.6% year on year), mainly reflecting smooth sales from SI/Solutions and Service/Outsourcing in the IT Solutions business.
​Operating income stood at 18,526 million yen (up 40.7% year on year), ordinary income came to 18,565 million yen (up 40.6% year on year), and net income attributable to owners of the parent was 12,800 million yen (up 45.3% year on year). This is primarily attributable to an increase in gross profit resulting from increased net sales and an increase in the high value-added product and service ratio, chiefly in the IT Solutions business.

Looking ahead to conditions in fiscal 2026, the Japanese economy is expected to continue to recover moderately. However, the outlook remains uncertain, chiefly due to concerns that the supply constraints and rising prices of memory, as well as those of crude oil, natural gas and other resources, caused by the situation in the Middle East, U.S. trade policies and other factors may adversely impact corporate capital expenditure. As it mainly sells Canon products and provides IT solutions in the Japanese domestic market, we believe the direct impact of the situation in the Middle East on the Group's performance is minor; however, we will continue to closely monitor future developments.

Given this economic environment, the Group has decided not to change the consolidated results forecasts announced on January 28, 2026.
