Olympus Q1 financial report: Revenue down 27% but forecast still positive

Olympus published the new Q1 financial report (files here). The company as a whole is doing well but the Imaging Division still struggles.  Q1 revenue and profit are negative and Olympus says this is because:

1) No new products released due the restructuring
2) sever business environment

Still forecast says their revenue on a Year to Year basis will go up by 3%. But they still expect a -7% in profit

(FT3) Panasonic might have a product announcement in late August…unsure if it’s for MFT…

I am starting to get info about multiple announcements from Panasonic:

  1. They will have an announcement in late August. I am not sure what this will be about but it’s likely that this is for new S lenses
  2. In September there should be an announcement related to MFT. It should be for at least one camera…G880 or something else?

If you have any info about what’s coming drop me a message using the contact form on the op of the right sidebar or contact me at 43rumors@gmail.com. Thanks!

a bit of everything…
