    IMAGING BUSINESS Share of Net Sales 15.1% Olympus provides products that overturn the conventional wisdom of digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras and open up new possibilities in photography, such as the OM-D mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera incorporating new mirrorless and electronic viewfinder technologies and the compact, lightweight PEN series of mirrorless interchangeable-lens cameras.

Nevertheless, full-year consolidated net sales fell year on year as a result of factors including intensification of competition and the inability to introduce the OM-D and other new products as scheduled because of parts procurement difficulties in the second half due to the flooding in Thailand. Operating loss decreased thanks to improvements in the cost of sales ratio and cost reductions. Excluding the impact of foreign exchange, consolidated net sales rose Haruo Ogawa 1.5% and operating loss fell by ¥2.0 billion year on year.
