Photizo Group Releases First-Quarter 2013 Industry Financial Summary

Wednesday 19. June 2013 - Photizo Group has released an industry financial summary for the first quarter of 2013. First-Quarter 2013 Financial Summary: The Weakened Yen Makes a Weakening Industry Look Stronger was written by Charles LeCompte, senior analyst with Photizo Group.

The first calendar quarter of 2013 was the first quarter in two years in which the hard copy industry’s revenue rose. But that surge was misleading because it was driven entirely by the weakened yen, which gave a huge boost to the overseas revenue of Japanese firms, even though in local-currency terms the industry’s revenue fell once again.
This report summarizes the calendar first-quarter financial results of the leading hard copy industry firms. It also looks at overall industry revenue, profit, and share price trends through a series of detailed charts.
