Fujitsu Reports FY2003 First-Half Financial Results
Net Loss Posted on Flat Sales, But Second Quarter Sales 
and Operating Income Rebound
Tokyo, October 29, 2003 - Fujitsu Limited, a leader in
customer-focused IT and communications solutions for the
global marketplace, today reported consolidated net sales
of 2,141.9 billion yen (approximately US$19.3 billion) for
the first half of fiscal year 2003 (April 1 - September 30,
2003), a 0.4% decrease from the first half of fiscal 2002.
Net sales in the second quarter increased 3.1%, to 1,203.1
billion yen, led by strong sales of PCs, mobile telephones,
logic chips, and plasma display panels. It was the first
time since the first quarter of FY2001 that Fujitsu posted
year-on-year quarterly sales growth. Higher sales and lower
operating expenses contributed to a rebound in second
quarter operating income to 19.8 billion yen (US$179
million). For the company as a whole, however, a large
operating loss in the first quarter resulted in an
operating loss for the first six months of 17.9 billion yen
(US$162 million), compared to an operating loss of 23.2
billion yen for the first half of FY2002.
During the first half, higher pension obligation expenses,
a casualty loss stemming from an earthquake in May, and
foreign exchange losses resulting from the rapid
appreciation of the yen in late September were partially
offset by gains from the sale of a portion of the company's
shares in Fanuc Ltd. The net loss for the first six months
was 58.5 billion yen (US$528 million), compared to a net
loss of 147.4 billion yen in the first half of 2002. The
net loss for the second quarter was 18.7 billion yen
(US$169 million), compared to a net loss of 91.0 billion
yen in the same period last year.
Second Quarter Financial Results
Second Quarter      Change from         % Change
                                       Previous Year
Net Sales        1,203.1 billion yen  +35.8 billion yen   +3.1%
Operating Income    19.8 billion yen  +14.1 billion yen 
  Net Income         -18.7 billion yen  +72.2 billion yen
Net sales in the second quarter were 1,203.1 billion yen,
an increase of 3.1% over the same period in the previous
year. It was the first time since the first quarter of
FY2001 that Fujitsu posted year-on-year quarterly sales
growth. Sales in software and services were maintained at
roughly the same level as the prior year, while sales of
servers and other systems hardware recovered, particularly
in overseas markets. In addition, sales expanded in a wide
variety of product areas, including notebook PCs, hard disk
drives for notebook PCs, semiconductors used in digital
audio-visual equipment, and plasma display panels. Although
price competition in software and services as well as
hardware is becoming more severe, the IT market overall is
finally bottoming out.
Operating income was 19.8 billion yen, a 14.1 billion yen
improvement over the previous year. Operating income was 2
billion yen higher than the company's public projections,
indicating that results are broadly in line with company
expectations. These results reflect the savings achieved
from last year's restructuring initiative and continued
efforts to cut costs and improve efficiencies in response
to ongoing pricing pressures.
Although there was an improvement in operating profit and
interest expenses were lower, pension obligation expenses
increased, and there was a foreign exchange loss associated
with the rapid appreciation of the yen in late September.
As a result, Fujitsu posted a net loss of 18.7 billion yen
for the second quarter. This represents an improvement of
72.2 billion yen compared to the second quarter of last
year, when there were large extraordinary losses associated
with the company's restructuring.

                yen         yen         yen
For the company as a whole, operating income moved from a
37.8 billion yen loss in the first quarter to a 19.8
billion yen profit in the second quarter. In the first
quarter, the three main segments-software and services,
platforms, and electronic devices-all posted operating
losses. In the second quarter, however, software and
services posted operating income of 32.5 billion yen and
electronic devices posted operating income of 4.9 billion
yen, while the platforms segment moved close to break even,
posting an operating loss of only 1.2 billion yen,
supported by stronger sales and the cost efficiencies
generated by previous restructuring initiatives.
Compared with the second quarter of the previous year,
Fujitsu posted a 14.1 billion yen improvement in operating
income. Large improvements were achieved in both platforms
and electronic devices, while software and services posted
an 18.1 billion yen reduction in operating income resulting
from the deterioration in profitability of particular
projects.
In the platforms segment, the hard disk drive business
returned to profitability. In electronic devices, there was
a large increase in the profitability of the plasma display
panel business and success in minimizing the financial
impact on the logic IC business of the earthquake at the
Iwate production facility. All of these factors contributed
to the improvement in profitability compared to the
previous quarter as well as the prior year.

Net sales for the first half were 2,141.9 billion yen,
roughly the same level as the first half of last year.
Compared with the same period last year, sales of software
and services were roughly flat, sales of platforms declined
6%, as strong second quarter results could not make up for
the large drop-off in the first quarter, and sales of
electronic devices increased 15.8% on strong sales of LSIs
(System-on-Chips) and displays.
Fujitsu posted an operating loss for the first half of 17.9
billion yen. It appears that sales of new product offerings
in the platforms segment will be concentrated in the second
half of the fiscal year, and major software and services
sales associated with those products will also therefore be
shifted to the second half, curtailing growth of these
sales in the first half. In addition, the large operating
loss in the first quarter exceeded the operating profit
posted in the second quarter. On the other hand, even in an
environment of severe price competition, because of the
effects of last year's restructuring and additional cost
efficiencies, the company achieved a 5.2 billion yen
improvement over the previous year.
Fujitsu incurred higher expenses stemming from the
amortization of unrecognized pension benefit obligations.
The company also posted a 34.4 billion yen gain on the
sales of marketable securities, including a portion of
Fujitsu's holdings of Fanuc, Ltd. stock, a 4.7 billion yen
casualty loss for damages incurred in the earthquake off
the coast of Miyagi Prefecture in May, and a 4.6 billion
yen restructuring charge associated with several domestic
and overseas subsidiaries.
The net loss was 58.5 billion yen, an 88.8 billion yen
improvement compared to the first half of last year, when
the company posted large restructuring charges.
Results by Business Segment in the First Half
* Net sales represents net sales to third parties 
Segment information for the first half is as follows.
1. Software & Services
First Half          Change from Same  
                                          Period Last Year
Net Sales           909.3 billion yen   -1.0%             
  Japan               671.4 billion yen   +0.8%             
  Overseas            237.8 billion yen   -5.5%             
  Operating Income    28.8 billion yen    -22.6 billion yen
Net sales in the software and services segment were 909.3
billion yen, roughly even with results for the same period
last year. Sales within Japan increased, but overseas
sales, which represent about one-fourth of the total,
declined. The decline is partly attributable to the sale
last year of some European business units as well as the
currency conversion impact of the strong yen.
Operating income declined significantly compared to the
prior year. The impact of new platforms product offerings
being concentrated in the second half, the deterioration in
profitability of particular projects, and aggressive
up-front investments in middleware and Linux offerings all
hurt profitability in Japan, while overseas profitability
was affected by a deterioration in North American results.

Infrastructure           495.6 billion yen    -3.7%          
  Services
Sales increased of solutions/system integration services,
whereby Fujitsu provides services to individual customer
projects. Higher sales were posted to the public sector,
through such high-profile projects as the e-Japan
initiative, as well as the healthcare sector.  
In infrastructure services, whereby Fujitsu provides
services for business infrastructure, sales within Japan of
corporate outsourcing services continued to be strong.
Overseas, however, sales in Europe declined.
In order to support the global expansion of its customers,
Fujitsu is enhancing its organizational structure in
Europe, the U.S., and Asia. During the current period, in
addition to supporting the global expansion of Japanese
corporations, the company received a series of major
government-related outsourcing deals in the U.K. and
succeeded in winning other major global deals in Europe and
North America.
Fujitsu is clearly establishing a strong business platform
in Europe, and is coordinating its effort to strengthen its
position in the U.S. market.
2. Platforms
First Half       Change from Same  
                                          Period Last Year
Net Sales           723.8 billion yen   - 6.0%            
  Japan               505.0 billion yen   - 6.3%            
  Overseas            218.8 billion yen   - 5.2%
Operating Income    -20.7 billion yen   + 10.0 billion yen
Net sales of platforms products declined by 6% compared to
the previous year. In Japan, the company posted strong
sales throughout the period of consumer-oriented PCs with
enhanced audio-visual and LAN functions as well as
newly-launched mobile phone handsets. There was, however,
only a moderate recovery in capital expenditures by telecom
carriers and other corporations. Overseas, a strong market
for notebook PC hard disk drives boosted sales of those
products, and in the latter half of the period there were
signs of a recovery in the markets for transmission
systems, primarily in North America, and UNIX servers,
primarily in Europe. On the other hand, for the first half
overall, sales of transmission systems and server-related
equipment were both down by nearly 20% compared with the
same period last year, reflecting the lingering
after-effects of the telecom bubble in North America and
the inclusion in last year's first-half results of some
major sales of server-related equipment in Japan.
The operating loss for the platforms segment was 20.7
billion yen, representing an improvement of 10.0 billion
yen compared to the first half of the previous year.
Improvements in PCs, hard disk drives and other business
areas resulting from last year's restructuring and other
cost-cutting measures were not enough to offset the impact
of lower sales of servers and networking equipment.

In servers and PCs, Fujitsu has integrated its development
operations and is selling in the four major markets of
Japan, the U.S., Europe, and Asia. In UNIX servers, the
company's high-end systems have achieved top scores in a
number of performance benchmarks, and sales in Europe and
other areas are expanding.
Fujitsu is further enhancing its ability to provide
products for the global markets, differentiating itself on
the basis of its superior technology. It is also
strengthening its server business by deepening the linkage
with its software and services business through its TRIOLE
infrastructure concept. Fujitsu is also widening the scope
of its global alliances with other companies and pursuing
an all-out marketing effort in Japan.
In design and manufacturing, the company is also making
every effort to strengthen its manufacturing prowess
through the introduction of some of Toyota's techniques. By
further enhancing its ability to cut costs, the company is
laying a foundation for stable profitability.
*TRIOLE is Fujitsu's IT infrastructure initiative that
addresses the most pressing needs of corporate and
institutional customers: scalability to expand with their
requirements; quick and easy integration with partners;
lower cost of ownership; and operational reliability.

                                          Period Last Year

  Overseas            170.0 billion yen   + 18.8%
Operating Income    -1.2 billion yen    + 21.8 billion yen
Net sales of electronic devices increased 15.8% over the
previous year. Sales of semiconductor products for digital
audio-visual equipment, mobile phones, and automobiles were
strong in Japan, Asia, and Europe. In addition, market
demand for flat screen TVs has taken off, sparking very
strong sales growth in plasma display panels and other
displays.
The electronic devices segment moved very close to
break-even, posting an operating loss of 1.2 billion yen.
Aided by a market recovery and the effects of the
restructuring initiatives undertaken last fiscal year, the
segment achieved profitability in the second quarter.
Although first quarter results were adversely affected by
the disruption of the Iwate production facility caused by
the earthquake off the coast of Miyagi Prefecture in May,
the impact was largely offset by higher sales in the second
quarter.
In addition to good results in the plasma displays
business, which benefited from a strong market, improved
yield rate and other cost efficiencies, the components
business, which had perennially lost money, is now
profitable as a result of cost reductions achieved through
productivity reforms.
To achieve greater efficiencies and competitiveness,
Fujitsu and U.S.-based Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (AMD)
have expanded their joint venture in flash memory
production to integrate their respective marketing and
product development operations. Accordingly, on June 30 the
two companies transferred their flash memory operations
into a newly-established joint venture company, FASL LLC,
which is 40% owned by Fujitsu and 60% owned by AMD. Fujitsu
will continue to handle sales as a distributor for the
joint venture. The new venture's profitability relating to
development and manufacturing will be reflected in
Fujitsu's financial results according to equity-method
accounting treatment.
Demand for flash memory during the period was
extraordinarily strong, particularly for the mobile phone
market. But it was only at the end of the period that
prices finally stopped falling, however, so the
profitability of the business continued to face very severe
conditions.

                          yen                billion yen
Total assets at the end of the first half were 3,740.4
billion yen, a reduction of 484.8 billion yen from the end
of the previous fiscal year. The reduction in assets is a
result of the switch to equity-method accounting for the
company's flash memory operations and leasing affiliate as
well as further progress in promoting balance sheet
efficiencies through such measures as the sale of
marketable securities.
Total current assets were reduced by 271.6 billion yen from
the end of the last fiscal year, to 1,799.9 billion yen.
While trade receivables declined by 170.9 billion yen as a
result of collections from sales concentrated at the end of
the previous fiscal year, inventories increased by 23.3
billion yen in anticipation of increased sales in the
second half. Other current assets decreased by 79.5 billion
yen from the end of the previous fiscal year as a result of
the reduction of lease receivables in accordance with the
switch to equity-method accounting for the leasing company.
Total fixed assets decreased by 213.1 billion yen from the
end of the last fiscal year, to 1,940.5 billion yen.
Property, plant and equipment decreased by 134.6 billion
yen as a result of the reorganization of flash memory
operations. In addition, investments and other assets
decreased by 65.3 billion yen in accordance with the
decrease in lease receivables and the sale of marketable
securities.
Total liabilities declined by 386.3 billion yen from the
end of the previous fiscal year, to 2,922.0 billion yen. In
addition to a 220 billion yen reduction in interest-bearing
liabilities from the change in the accounting treatment of
the leasing company to the equity method, progress was also
achieved in the redemption of corporate bonds and the
repayment of bank loans, resulting in a total reduction of
interest-bearing liabilities of 287.1 billion yen from the
end of the previous fiscal year. Interest-bearing
liabilities at the end of the current period were 1,476.6
billion yen, so at present the company has already achieved
its objective of reducing interest-bearing liabilities to
1,500.0 billion yen by the end of the fiscal year. Fujitsu
has also reduced its ratio of interest-bearing liabilities
by 2.2%, to 39.5%. Through the effective use of its asset
holdings, the company will continue its effort to reduce
interest-bearing liabilities to the extent possible.
Total shareholders' equity declined by 52.5 billion yen as
a result of the net loss for the period, to 649.8 billion
yen. Because, proportionally, assets contracted by more
than shareholders' equity, the shareholders' equity ratio
increased by 0.8%, to 17.4%.

                         yen               yen
Net cash flow generated by operating activities in the
first half was 37.4 billion yen (compared to negative 80.9
billion yen in the same period last year), resulting in
part from the significant collection of trade receivables
at the end of the last fiscal year. This improvement of
118.4 billion yen was also attributable to a substantial
reduction in the loss before income taxes compared to the
same period of the previous year.
Net cash flow from investing activities was negative 30.3
billion yen, achieved by concentrating capital expenditures
in high growth segments and through sales of marketable
securities.
By holding investment spending within the amount of net
cash generated by operating activities, free cash flow
improved by 98.6 billion yen compared to the same period
last year, to positive 7.0 billion yen.
Net cash flow generated from financing activities was
negative 50.6 billion yen. Cash generated from operations
and existing cash balances were used towards the redemption
of bonds and the repayment of outstanding debt.
As a result, total cash and cash equivalents fell by 45.6
billion yen, to 236.6 billion yen.
Dividend Policy
With respect to the disposition of profits, Fujitsu
believes that a portion should be paid to shareholders to
offer a stable return, and that a portion should be
retained by the company to strengthen its financial base
and support new business development opportunities that
will result in improved long-term performance.
Although, on an unconsolidated basis, Fujitsu posted net
income of 18.7 billion yen for the current period, the
company is still in the midst of its plans to restore the
profitability of its core business as reflected in
operating income, and the company reported operating losses
for the current period on both a consolidated and
unconsolidated basis. Accordingly, the company has
reluctantly decided to forgo dividend payments for the
first half of fiscal 2003. With respect to the dividend for
the next payout period, following the end of this fiscal
year, the company would like to base its decision on a
review of the full-year's results, and therefore no
decision has been reached at the present time.
Strategic Management Direction
Management Stance
As the scope of the networked society continues to expand,
IT is permeating every aspect of our daily lives, moving us
ever closer to a ubiquitous networked world, where
information sharing through the network is available
anytime, anyplace and with anyone. Moreover, IT is playing
an increasingly important role in the ability of customers
to manage their businesses. Nowadays, IT vendors must
recognize that customers do not simply look for suppliers
of products and services when selecting partners for
building and operating their IT systems. Rather, IT vendors
are expected to be true partners who, based on long-term
relationships of mutual trust, can make appropriate
proposals and implement them through the entire IT
life-cycle.
The customer is the starting point for everything we do and
think about at Fujitsu. By understanding in detail the
environment in which our customers operate and their
overall businesses, we are able to provide them with
effective proposals that are both concrete and timely.
Moreover, we will continue to strive to keep pace with the
fast-changing markets and needs of our customers.
As a leader of the IT industry, we are firmly committed to
continuously providing total solutions that utilize
high-quality products and services based on advanced
technology that offers superior performance and
reliability. In this way, we will further strengthen our
overall capabilities -- which range from cutting-edge
technology that incorporates the latest advances and
applications to a full complement of services -- and at the
same time contribute to our customers' businesses. We aim
by so doing to become management partners to our customers
and grow together with them.
Business Strategy and Priority Issues
We believe that, in today's uncertain economic and market
conditions, our customers are giving priority to reducing
the cost of operating their IT systems and bolstering their
competitiveness in order to promote further growth.
Today's IT systems are comprised of an increasingly wide
variety of hardware and software products, and along with
higher performance levels comes greater complexity.
Consequently, the task of operating them has become a
greater burden for customers. While, on the one hand,
systems are often separated along divisional lines, it is
becoming increasingly important to link them with external
systems, and the issue of interconnectivity among systems
is becoming increasingly crucial. In addition, there is
growing demand for the ability to integrate the overall
structure and management of corporate IT systems.
Fujitsu is uniquely positioned to offer our customer
comprehensive solutions to their business problems through
the strategic utilization of information technology. We are
actively using this expertise to contribute to our
customers' business growth and expansion.
Below are some of the specific initiatives we are currently
emphasizing.
Continually Providing Comprehensive Solutions
While increasing the level of interconnectivity among our
customers' various divisional systems, we aim to achieve an
integrated perspective on the overall chain of processes
relating to our customers' systems - from consulting and
planning through development, operation and maintenance -
and thereby help them to reduce their overall IT costs and
strengthen the competitiveness of their operations. We are
not simply offering suggestions at the various stages in
these processes but rather continuously providing
comprehensive service proposals based on in-depth
understanding of the customers' management policies and
strategy.
Strengthening the Infrastructure of Next-Generation IT
Systems
Today's IT systems are becoming increasingly sophisticated
and complex. In response, Fujitsu is intensifying its
commitment to develop and deploy TRIOLE, its
next-generation IT infrastructure initiative. TRIOLE
utilizes middleware to integrate open standard servers,
storage and network resources, bringing harmony to the
disparate parts of an IT system, including those
manufactured by other companies. Specifically, while
enhancing the technology we have accumulated in the
mainframe field in high-reliability design and superior
operational stability, we are utilizing our rich experience
and know-how in systems integration and producing templates
for highly-reliable systems integration. These advantages
enable us to offer our customers operational system
stability, faster system deployments, and scalability to
keep pace with the growth of their business.
Business Segment Initiatives
In our services and software business, we are continuing to
strive to improve profitability by bolstering the
efficiency of application development and strengthening
project management. We are also rapidly shifting our
emphasis to growth markets such as services for top-tier
manufacturers and retailers, healthcare, and local
government consolidation, in addition to growth fields as
outsourcing, CRM, ERP, e-learning and mobile solutions.
Moreover, we are strengthening sales of our competitive
middleware products and aim to increase our share of that
market.
In our platforms business, we are further strengthening our
manufacturing prowess by taking various measures to boost
productivity, such as initiating major productivity reforms
in our manufacturing facilities. Our efforts are not
limited to the manufacturing process. At every stage of our
operations, including development, design and procurement,
we are working hard to improve product and service quality,
reduce development time and cut costs. Moreover, based upon
our TRIOLE next-generation IT infrastructure initiative, we
are promoting coordination with our software and services
unit to expand business, and we are laying the
organizational foundation to expand our business globally.
In our electronic devices business, as part of the
initiatives to improve our profitability, we are moving
quickly to focus our resources on markets in which we
expect high growth, such as logic ICs for home information
appliances, mobile devices and networks. At the same time,
we are moving ahead with the development of advanced CMOS
technology, which will further enhance the competitiveness
of our products. To launch, in a timely manner, the
products that meet our customers' needs, we are working to
speed up every process throughout our organization.
We have made cash flow management a major priority and are
taking various steps to improve our financial structure. In
the first half, we succeeded in reducing interest-bearing
debt through such means as the sales of equity holdings and
changing the status of our leasing affiliate into a company
warranting equity-method accounting treatment. By
continuing to focus on improving the profitability of our
core operations as a top priority, while at the same time
promoting a more efficient use of our assets, we will make
further progress towards improving the company's financial
position.
By continuously applying our efforts to the accomplishment
of these tasks, we are striving to become a global company
that is trusted by our customers and society, and that can
make a significant contribution to building a prosperous
and dynamic networked society.
Policy Regarding Minimum Lot Size for Trading Shares
Participation of individual investors in the equity markets
is increasing, and we recognize the importance of this
trend from the viewpoint of the revitalization of the
capital markets and the promotion of long-term, stable
holdings of the company's shares. Moreover, as a basic
principle, as part of our ongoing investor relations
activities, we inform investors about the company's
financial condition through active and appropriate
disclosure of company information.
With respect to lowering the minimum lot size for trading
the company's shares, we realize that such a move could
promote the participation of individual investors in the
equity market and, therefore, could be an effective means
of boosting the liquidity of the stock. Nevertheless, after
considering the current stock price level, the number of
shareholders, the current distribution of individual
shareholders and the market liquidity of Fujitsu's stock,
we have come to the conclusion that it would be premature
to reduce the minimum lot size at the present time.
Taking into account overall trends in individual stock
ownership and Fujitsu's stock price, we will carefully
consider what action might be appropriate in the future.
Earnings Projections for FY2003
After having undergone two painful years of restructuring,
there are signs that Fujitsu's financial results are
beginning to improve, with the company posting in the
second quarter its first year-on-year quarterly sales
growth in two years. With respect to the market environment
facing the IT industry, technological advances have made
digital cameras, DVDs, camera phones, and other digital
audio-visual equipment cheaper, lighter, and more
sophisticated, spurring an increase in demand, and the
company expects these trends to continue. In conjunction
with these trends, Fujitsu fully expects demand for
advanced broadband network infrastructure, particularly
servers and storage systems, to also increase.
At the present time there are some causes for concern about
instability relating to the situation in Iraq and the
equity market, but the company feels that conditions are
ripe for an economic upturn in the second half. On the
other hand, globalization and technological progress are
combining to significantly accelerate the downward pricing
pressure on computer hardware in addition to software and
services. Fujitsu itself must therefore intensify the
globalization of its own operations, maintain its
technological superiority, strengthen its manufacturing
prowess, and implement operational reforms to generate
greater efficiencies, including additional cost savings.
Amid the major changes affecting the IT industry, Fujitsu
will continue to emphasize, above all, the company's
customer-oriented perspective and fast responsiveness.
With respect to Fujitsu's projections for the full fiscal
year, the shift to the equity-method of accounting for the
company's leasing affiliate has resulted in a downward
revision of 50 billion yen in our net sales forecast. For
operating income, because of a profit deterioration in
software and services, the company expects not to be able
to meet its original profit targets in that business
segment. Fujitsu now expects, however, to offset that
amount through improved results in platforms and electronic
devices, so it is not changing its original projections for
the full year. The company's projections for net income
also remain unchanged.
Earnings projections for the third quarter are shown below.
In Fujitsu's business, sales tend to be concentrated at the
end of the fiscal year. Even though sales in the third
quarter are projected to be 100 billion yen lower than in
the second quarter, the company still expects to post an
operating profit and lay the foundation for stable
profitability.
