Sales and Operating Income by Product Group
Sales by product group include internal sales between segments (Consumer/Information Products and Electronic Components).

Consumer/Information Products
Sales of Audio-Visual and Communication Equipment were 349.1 billion yen, up 12.0% over the same period last year. Sales of LCD TVs and mobile phones both increased. Operating income was 12.3 billion yen, an improvement of 25.1 billion yen over the same period last year. Sharp’s LCD TV business has been solidly profitable since the second quarter of fiscal 2009, and profits also improved in the Japanese mobile phone business.

Sales of Health and Environmental Equipment were 64.7 billion yen, up 12.1% and operating income was 5.2 billion yen, up approximately 190% over the same period last year. Sales of refrigerators, air conditioners and LED lights were strong.

Sales of Information Equipment were 66.5 billion yen, up 6.5% from the same period last year, reflecting increased sales of digital color MFPs. However, operating income was 4.6 billion yen, down 18.0% compared to the same period last year.

As a result, sales of these three product groups comprising Consumer/Information Products were 480.4 billion yen, up 11.2% and operating income was 22.3 billion yen, an improvement of 27.5 billion yen from the operating loss of 5.2 billion yen in the same period last year.

Electronic Components
Sales of LCDs were 261.0 billion yen, up 48.0%, and operating income was 1.7 billion yen, an improvement of 14.2 billion yen from the same period last year. Against a backdrop of strong demand for large-size LCDs for TVs, Sharp’s LCD panel plant at GREEN FRONT SAKAI began operations in October 2009, and we took proactive steps to expand sales. However, the sales environment for small- and medium-size LCDs remained challenging.

Sales of Solar Cells were 57.6 billion yen, up 65.7%, and operating income was 1.0 billion yen, an improvement of 3.5 billion yen from the same period last year. Sales in Japan were solid, reflecting the effect subsidy programs had on the installation of residential photovoltaic power generation systems. Overseas sales also increased.

Sales of Other Electronic Devices were 73.6 billion yen, up 24.0%, and operating income was 3.5 billion yen, an improvement of 4.2 billion yen from the same period last year. Sales of CCD/CMOS imagers and other devices increased.

As a result, sales of these three product groups comprising Electronic Components were 392.3 billion yen, up 45.0% and operating income was 6.3 billion yen, an improvement of 22.0 billion yen from the 15.6 billion yen operating loss in the same period last year.
