Kyocera’s Q2 Financial Report: A Glimpse for Office Equipment Resellers

Kyocera’s Q2 FY25 earnings are out and they show a slight revenue increase to ¥998.6 billion. The growth was driven by the Solutions and Electronic Components divisions and boosted by the favorable yen.

On the downside, Kyocera’s operating profit fell 29.9%, which is being attributed to rising costs on semiconductors and other components as well as soft demand in certain markets. On the upside, Sales revenue and business profit both increased “mainly due to an increase in sales of the Document Solutions Unit,” which were up 9.1%.

For office equipment resellers who follow Kyocera, the 30% drop in OP should initiate an increased focus on controlling costs and potentially streamlining operations.

Kyocera is already working on getting things in line, selling down $10.4B in their stake in KDDI as reported by Bloomberg. This stake is about one third of Kyocera’s investment in KDDI, Japan’s second largest telecom company, and the funds will be used to bolster their finances.

The move should make Kyocera stronger financially. Stay tuned for more Kyocera news as it occurs.
