Hoya’s announced revenue increased to 142,000 million yen, a 4.6 percent year over year increase. Profit before tax was 38,400 million yen, a 16.8 percent increase.

A strong performance in the Americas drove growth in eyeglass sales. Overall, the life care segment grew 4.6 percent thanks in part to the acquisition of Performance Optics.
