Kodak has reported a net loss of $353 million for the first quarter of 2009. Sales are down by 29% versus the same period of last year, to $1.477 billion. This includes approximately 6% of unfavourable foreign exchange impact, the company says. The Consumer Digital Imaging Group’s first-quarter sales were $369 million, a 33% decline from the prior-year quarter, including approximately 5% of unfavourable foreign exchange impact. First-quarter loss from operations for the segment was $157 million, compared with a loss of $111 million a year ago. It’s not all doom and gloom though: for example, sales of consumer inkjet printer hardware and ink grew by more than 100% in a market that declined with the overall economy. In various other market segments. the company is either gaining or maintaining market share.

On the other hand, it is still a 63% decline versus last year, blamed on the global economic slowdown triggered by the global financial crisis, as well as the appreciation of the yen and a decline of the stock market.

Canon may lift its profit forecast for 2009 by nearly 13 percent. According to Reuters, the Japanese corporation is going to post an operating profit for the first quarter, and may revise its annual profit forecast upward by 12.5 percent. The news agency bases this assumption on a report by the Nikkei business daily, which says strong SLR sales and a weaker-than-expected yen have boosted profits in the January-March period to about 30 billion yen. Analysts have been estimating a loss of 18.7 billion yen for the first quarter, Reuters says. A profit of 30 billion would thus be a great surprise, even if it still represents an 82% drop against the same period of last year, blamed on Canon’s ailing core business of manufacturing printers, copiers and lithography equipment.
