HOYA Corporation has a broken financial year which means that for the bookkeepers of the Japanese giant the months April, May and June were the first of this new year. The positive developments in 2009, seem to continue in the first three months of this financial year. Compared to the same period last year sales increased with 11,2% and operating income with even 116,6%. Unfortunately as from this financial year the company changed its financial reports which makes it more difficult to monitor the developments of the prescription lenses sales. Prescription lenses now are part of the Life Care division which reported a 2,2% increase. This Life Care division counts for 47% of the total sales of HOYA Corporation and for 91% of the operating income making it a very important part of the company’s activities.
