Fujifilm‘s Imaging Solutions business recorded sales of Yen 83.2 billion (US-$ 971 million/Euro 734 million), a plus of 3.7 percent. The operating income turned from a loss of Yen 4.2 billion (US-$ 49 million/Euro 37 million) to a profit of Yen 2.1 billion (US-$ 25 million/Euro 19 million) this year. Although the appreciation of the Yen and other factors had a negative impact on the segment‘s revenue, those factors were more than off-set by positive influences including robust sales of digital camera products, the company said. Fujifilm‘s Color Paper business showed a growth in volume due to increased market share and robust sales of photo books and other high value-added printing services.
