I.-2. Assessment of the Vision 23 action plans by segment
Results Our main photographic products business achieved high growth with a
substantial improvement in profitability. Sales of automotive lenses achieved
more than 7 billion yen, whereas,
the sales growth of the surveillance and FA lenses was slow and resulted in a
significant shortfall in sales targets. Delay in new business creation. The
path to commercialization is uncertain in the next medium-term plan. The
target of achieving over 10% operating income in all segments was realized a
year ahead of the plan, except the final year.
Photographic Products

margin

margin Double-digit sales growth for three consecutive
years in mainstay automotive products. The medical business has been launched,

III. FY2023 Financial Results
-. FY2023 Summary
Environment
Economy
The economy is on a gradual recovery trend, despite continued uncertainty due
to prolonged Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, military conflict between Israel
and Palestine, China’s real estate development investment issues, energy
problems, high global inflation, interest rate hikes in various countries,
etc.
Significant depreciation of JPY (a decrease of ¥9 against USD and ¥14 against
EUR compared to the previous year)
Material costs increase due to geopolitical risks as above and JPY
depreciation.
Market
In the interchangeable lens camera and lens market, the quantity remains flat,
but the total amount increases due to the strong performance of high-value-
added products YoY.
In the surveillance sector, camera manufacturers have adjusted their inventory
levels due to the easing of semiconductor shortages.
Company’s Results
Net sales showed a double-digit increase of 8 billion yen compared to the
previous year, reaching 71.4 billion yen. Achieved double-digit growth in the
section of photographic products, Mobility & Healthcare. However, there was
about a 10% decrease in the surveillance and FA sector.
Gross profit margin remained at the previous year’s level as a result of
controlling procurement costs and achieving lower product costs.
Although SG&A expenses increased by 10% due to reactionary increase (removing
business travel restrictions due to increased exhibition participation and
sales activities) from the cost-cutting phase of the COVID-19 pandemic and
increase in personnel costs etc., the increase was absorbed by the gross
profit increase from higher sales.
Operating income increased by 2.6 billion yen compared to the previous year (approximately 20% increase) marking a record-high profit for two consecutive fiscal years, exceeding 13 billion yen.
Double-digit increase in all profits (operating income, ordinary income, and net income)
The year-end dividend was increased by ¥45 compared to the previous year, with
the annual dividend increasing by ¥50 compared to the previous year, to record
high of ¥170.
26 Copyright © Tamron Co., Ltd. All rights reserved.
-. 2023 Full-Year Financial Results
Despite favorable foreign exchange effects, sales and income increased by
double digits as the effects of customer production adjustments due to the
difficulty of procuring electronic components because of semiconductor
shortages, and the effects of raising component and materials costs were
absorbed.
While sales and profits in the surveillance and FA business decreased due to
inventory adjustments at customers, overall sales and profits increased due to
the strong performance of the other two businesses.

Sales of our own brand interchangeable lenses increased even excluding
favorable foreign exchange effects, driven by the launch of new mirrorless

Although OEM sales decreased in 1st half compared to the strong sales in the
previous year, full-year sales remained strong due to strong sales in 2nd half
with positive impact of exchange rates.
Achieved record high operating income in the second consecutive year following

Although sales of FA lenses continued to increase significantly, sales of
surveillance lenses and camera modules decreased due to the prolonged impact
of inventory adjustment at customers.
The demand for TV conference lenses has continued to decline since 2020, and
although the sales showed a recovery in 2022, it faced another decrease.
The sluggishness in the Chinese market and the reduced demand for new models
due to inventory adjustments after the post-COVID19 situation have led to
delays in recovering development costs, resulting in a decline in profits.

Environment
Economy
The situation remains highly uncertain due to the prolonged Russia’s invasion

Company’s Forecast
Although there is an impact of higher material costs by rising prices of resources, aggressive investment, and higher R&D, plan to absorb these
costs and achieve an increase in sales and profit.
Aim to break the record high sales (¥73.6 billion in 2014).
Due to a change of policy on the distribution of profit, the annual dividend is planned to be ¥210 per share, a significant increase from ¥40
