Here is the information for the “Others” segment that includes the camera division:
We posted an operating loss of 6.4 billion yen, 4.2 billion yen of which stemmed from the de-consolidation of Ricoh Leasing.
In the Smart Vision business, we generated solid sales of the THETA in the 360° camera market, as users were able to experience video while unable to go out.
On the downside, demand for and sales of DSLR and other cameras were off because the pandemic led to restrictions on movements and event cancellations.
Demand for industrial products suffered from factory stoppages and stagnant sales among end product manufacturers, primarily in the automotive industry.
We are seeing signs of a demand recovery, and will proceed to improve earnings.
