Geographically, sales in Japan declined 2.5%. Mobile phone sales rose strongly, but sales of core system integration and solutions services declined due to corporate spending cutbacks.
Outside Japan, sales rose 33.6% when including the sales of Fujitsu Technology Solutions and increased 6% on an adjusted basis. This is due to recovering demand for electronic components, growing sales of optical transmission systems in North America, and other factors.
Michiyoshi Mazuka, president of Fujitsu, said: “I’m pleased to report that profitability continues to improve in all our business areas, and we’re on track to meet our earnings targets for fiscal 2009. We continue to transform the Fujitsu Group by focusing on the needs of our customer’s customers, expanding business in markets outside Japan, and protecting the environment through innovative technology solutions.”
