Fujifilm Financial Results for FY2022: Signifcant Rise of Imaging in Sales and Profits (also thanks to X-T5, X-H2S and X-H2)

Share

Fujifilm has released their final report for the fiscal year 2022 (April 2022 to March 2023).

The imaging division seems to be very healthy with a 23.1% revenue increase and a 97.1% operating income increase.

Keep in mind though, that the imaging division is divided in two sections:

It’s safe to assume that the majority of the imaging division profits comes from Instax sales

But also the professional imaging department alone saw a revenue increase. In this regards, Fujifilm mentions the sales of the Fujifilm X-H2S, X-H2 and X-T5.

Strong sales of instant photo systems and digital cameras boosted overall revenue by 23.1% year-over-year to ¥410.3 billion and operating income by 97.1% year-over-year to ¥72.9 billion.

In the Consumer Imaging business, revenues increased due to strong sales of instant photo systems, color photographic paper and dry minilabs / materials. In March 2023, we launched INSTAX mini 12, the latest entry model of the INSTAX instant photo syste. We have also strated offering the smartphone app /NSTAX UP! that allows users to enjoy the digitized INSTAX photos on their smartphones.

In the Professional Imaging business, revenue increased as sales of new products from the X Series digital cameras, X-H2S, X-H2 and X-T5 which come with the latest, fifth-generation devices, fared well.

To remind you, this is the gear Fujifilm launched in 2022:

Fujifilm X-T4 Discontinued (in Addition to X-Pro3, X-E4, X-T30II, GFX50R, GFX100)

Share

Fellow FR-readers saw it coming already.

The Fujifilm X-T4 had been removed from the Japanese Fujifilm store back in September 2022 and also stores overseas started to mark it as discontinued.

Well, now it’s also time for BHphoto & Co to remove the Fujifilm X-T4 from their store, hence it’s now marked as discontinued also there.

The Fujifilm X-T4 joins lots of other Fujifilm cameras that are already marked as discontinued, such as the Fujifilm X-E4 (we reported back in March here), the X-T30II (we reported here), the Fujifilm X-Pro3 (we reported here), as well as the Fujifilm GFX50R and the Fujifilm GFX100.

But, trust me guys, don’t expect a Fujifilm X-Pro4, Fujifilm X-T40, Fujifilm X-E5, Fujifilm GFX50R replacement and Fujifilm GFX100 replacement to drop all on May 24, just because they are now discontinued.
