- Fujitsu Reports FY 2004 Third-Quarter Financial Results
Tokyo, January 28, 2005 – Fujitsu Limited, a leader in customer-focused IT and communications solutions for the global marketplace, today reported consolidated net sales of 1,043.6 billion yen (approximately US$10,133 million*) for the third quarter of fiscal 2004 (October 1 - December 31, 2004), a decline of 2.3% compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Excluding the impact of restructuring last fiscal year, on a continuing-operations basis Fujitsu's third-quarter sales were flat. IT investment in Japan remained generally weak, and growth in overseas sales of IT outsourcing services, UNIX servers, personal computers, optical transmission systems, and hard disk drives was offset by sharply lower sales of semiconductors, plasma display panels (PDPs), and liquid crystal displays (LCDs) arising from deteriorating conditions in the digital home electronics market.
