Revenue in US dollars

Revenue (US$m)

The revenue line above, converted at the average ¥/US$ rate of each figure’s own year — never today’s.

Between 1964–2007, PENTAX Corporation’s revenue grew 34-fold in yen (8.5% a year). Converted at each year’s own average rate, the same span is 104-fold in dollars (11.4% a year), from $13m to $1.3bn. The dollar figure grew faster because the yen was stronger at the end of the period than at the start — a yen of revenue in 2007 bought more dollars than one in 1964.

Revenue in millions of US dollars, converted at each year’s own average rate, with the yen figure as filed and the rate applied.

Reporting basis

Which accounting standard each stretch of the series was filed under, and whether the accounts are consolidated.

The series crosses 2 reporting regimes — parent-only Japanese GAAP for 1964–1985; and consolidated Japanese GAAP for 1992–2007. Figures are not strictly comparable across a change of basis: consolidation in particular adds subsidiaries that were previously outside the accounts.

Reporting regimes across the long series, oldest first.
Fiscal years	Standard	Basis	Years
1964–1985	Japanese GAAP	parent-only	22
1992–2007	Japanese GAAP	consolidated	16

Disclaimer

Figures are reproduced as filed and are not restated: a change of accounting standard or of consolidation basis moves the series without anything happening to the business.
Headcount definitions change between filings — some years count only full-time employees, others include seconded or temporary staff — so a jump in the series may reflect a change of definition rather than of hiring.
