Olympus Corporation, a prominent player in the MedTech industry, specializes in optical and digital precision technology, with a focus on endoscopic and therapeutic solutions. In its latest earnings report for the six-month period ending September 30, 2024, Olympus Corp. Adr reported a 9.8% increase in revenue to ¥474,029 million despite a challenging global economic environment. The company also saw a significant rise in operating profit, which reached ¥70,530 million, largely due to strategic restructuring and the discontinuation of some operations.
Key financial highlights from the report include an adjusted operating profit of ¥85,068 million, representing a 27.9% increase compared to the same period last year. The company also noted a 10.3% increase in revenue for its Endoscopic Solutions Business and a return to profitability in its Therapeutic Solutions Business, which recorded an operating profit of ¥26,846 million. The positive financial performance was supported by favorable exchange rates and the successful implementation of strategic initiatives aimed at improving productivity and innovation.
Despite these gains, Olympus reported a significant decrease in profit attributable to owners of the parent, down by 77.4% to ¥48,978 million, primarily due to the previous year’s gain from the transfer of its Scientific Solutions Business.

Looking ahead, Olympus Corporation remains committed to its transformation into a leading global MedTech company, focusing on patient safety, innovation, and productivity. The company maintains its financial forecast for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025, reflecting confidence in its strategic direction despite anticipated global economic challenges.
