2 CONSOLIDATED PERFORMANCE 1. OPERATING RESULTS *Overview Consolidated net sales of Ricoh Group for the first half of fiscal year 2013 (the six months period from April 1, 2013 to September 30, 2013) increased by 15.1% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 1,055.5 billion. During this period, the average yen exchange rates were Yen 98.90 against the U.S. dollar (down Yen 19.47 from the previous corresponding period) and Yen 130.10 against the Euro (down Yen 29.44 from the previous corresponding period). Net sales would have increased by 1.4% excluding impact of such foreign currency exchange fluctuation. The Japanese economy showed signs of recovery, with the weakening yen and the increase in stock prices achieved through the economic and monetary policies introduced by the government and the Bank of Japan. However, with the announcement of the increase in consumption tax by the government, the overall economic outlook continues to remain unpredictable. Under such conditions, domestic sales in the Imaging & Solutions segment and the Other segment increased, resulting in overall sales in Japan to increase by 3.0% as compared to the previous corresponding period. As for the overseas economy, the U.S. economy is continuing to show a modest growth, but there are still concerns on the outlook due to fiscal policy issues and possible scale back of its monetary stimulus. The European economy is showing signs of recovery, but the economy as a whole still remains stagnant. Slowdown in growth is also seen in China and in the rest of the emerging markets within Asia. These economic conditions have affected the overseas sales of Ricoh. Even under such severe situation, the weakening trend of the yen during this half-year contributed to the increase in sales overseas. As for overseas sales by region, sales in the Americas increased by 22.1% compared to the previous corresponding period (a decrease of 1.9% excluding foreign currency exchange fluctuation), sales in Europe, Middle East and Africa increased by 28.5% (a decrease of 0.4% excluding foreign currency exchange fluctuation). Sales in Other region, which includes China, South East Asia and Oceania, increased by 30.5% (an increase of 8.4%, excluding foreign currency exchange fluctuation). As a result, sales in the overseas market increased by 25.7% as compared to the previous corresponding period. Excluding effects of foreign currency fluctuations, net sales in overseas would have remained flat as compared to the previous corresponding period. Gross profit increased by 15.0% as compared to the previous corresponding period to Yen 430.3 billion, due to increase in sales and the weakening of the Yen. Even though group-wide activities to streamline costs have contributed in controlling selling, general and administrative expenses, these expenses have increased by 10.8% as compared to the previous corresponding period to Yen 384.5 billion, due to the weakening of the Yen. As a result, operating income increased to Yen 45.8 billion. Other income increased compared to the previous corresponding period due to gain on sale of investment securities. Income before income taxes increased significantly as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 44.3 billion. As a result, net income attributable to Ricoh Company, Ltd. increased by Yen 12.9 billion as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 24.7 billion. Comprehensive income increased significantly compared to the previous corresponding period, primarily by the increase in consolidated net income and cumulative translation adjustments due to the weakening trend of the yen, to Yen 64.0 billion. 3 *Conditions by Product Line Conditions by Product Line for half year ended September 30, 2013 are as follows; Imaging & Solutions (Sales up 15.7% to Yen 923.2 billion) --------------------------------------------------------- Office Imaging (Sales up 12.5% to Yen 704.7 billion) ---------------------------------------------------- Sales in this category increased by 12.5% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 704.7 billion. The sales of color MFP products and managed document services (MDS), along with the weakening of the Yen have contributed to the overall increase in sales compared to the previous corresponding period. Production Printing (Sales up 22.8% to Yen 85.2 billion) ----------------------------------------------------- Sales in this category increased by 22.8% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 85.2 billion. The weakening of the Yen, and increase in sales of new products and after-sales service revenue in the overseas market have contributed to the increase in the overall sales during this period. Network System Solutions (Sales up 30.7% to Yen 133.2 billion) ------------------------------------------------------------- Sales in this category increased by 30.7% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 133.2 billion due primarily to the increase in sales of IT services in both the domestic and overseas market. As a result, sales in the Imaging & Solutions segment increased by 15.7% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 923.2 billion. Operating income increased by 30.6% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 77.8 billion due to increase in gross profit achieved by increase in sales and by the weakening of the Yen. Industrial Products (Sales up 8.8% to Yen 51.5 billion) ------------------------------------------------------- Sales increases in the Optical Unit business contributed to the increase in the Industrial Products segment by 8.8%, as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 51.5 billion. As a result, the operating income in the Industrial Products segment increased to a total of Yen 2.1 billion (operating loss of Yen 0.6 billion in the previous corresponding period). Other (Sales up 11.6% to Yen 80.7 billion) ------------------------------------------ Net sales in the Other segment increased by 11.6% as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 80.7 billion due to increase in sales from the digital camera and lease financing business. As a result, the operating loss in the Other segment amounted to Yen 0.4 billion (operating loss of Yen 0.7 billion in the previous corresponding period). 2. FINANCIAL POSITION *Assets, Liabilities and Equity For Assets, lease receivables increased from the end of the previous fiscal year due to increases in lease contracts. The yen equivalent of foreign-currency-denominated assets increased due to the weakening of the Yen. As a result, total assets increased by Yen 62.9 billion, to Yen 2,423.6 billion as compared to the previous corresponding period. For Liabilities, accounts payable, accrued pension and severance costs decreased, but interest bearing debt increased. As a result, total liabilities increased by Yen 11.1 billion, to Yen 1,413.2 billion as compared to the previous corresponding period. For Total Equity, accumulated other comprehensive loss decreased due primarily to the increase of cumulative translation adjustments reflecting exchange fluctuation from the end of the previous period. As a result, total Equity increased by Yen 51.7 billion from the end of the previous fiscal year, to Yen 1,010.3 billion. *Cash Flows (Half year ended September 30, 2013) Even though finance receivables increased compared to the previous corresponding period, net cash provided by operating activities in this period increased by Yen 0.1 billion to Yen 28.5 billion due to increase in net income before taxes. Net cash used in investing activities in this period decreased by Yen 12.5 billion as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 40.0 billion. As a result, free cash outflows generated by operating and investing activities decreased by Yen 12.6 billion, compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 11.4 billion. Net cash provided by financing activities in this period increased by Yen 20.7 billion as compared to the previous corresponding period, to Yen 17.4 billion due primarily to proceeds from interest-bearing debt. As a result, cash and cash equivalents at the end of this first half increased by Yen 8.2 billion as compared to the end of the previous fiscal year, to Yen 125.2 billion. 4 3. FORECAST FOR THE ENTIRE FISCAL YEAR Based upon the changes in the business environment (i.e. exchange rate fluctuation) along with the second quarter business results, Ricoh will revise its forecast upwards for sales and gross profit from those previously announced in July. Ricoh assumes the exchange rates of Yen 95.00 against the U.S. dollar and of Yen 125.00 against the Euro in and after the third quarter, and has incorporated the actual exchange rates during the first half of fiscal year 2013 in the annual exchange rates assumption. The assumed exchange rates and year-end cash dividends have not changed from our forecast announced in July. Our performance forecast for fiscal year ending March 31, 2014 is as follows: Exchange Rate Assumptions for the full year ending March 31, 2014 US$ 1 = Yen 96.95 (Yen 83.06 in previous fiscal year) EURO 1 = Yen 127.55 (Yen 107.08 in previous fiscal year)

* Ricoh bases the forecast estimates for the year ending March 31, 2014 above upon information currently available to management, which involves risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. 4. OTHERS (1) Changes in significant subsidiaries: Not applicable (2) Adoption of concise quarterly accounting method or procedure: Not applicable (3) Changes in accounting method: Ricoh adopted retroactively Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01 from April 1 2013. ASU 2011-11 requires an entity to disclose information about offsetting and related arrangements. ASU 2013-01 replaced ASU 2011-11. The updates create new disclosure requirements requiring entities to disclose both gross and net information for derivatives and other financial instruments that are either offset in the Statement of assets and liabilities or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. These ASU's impact disclosures only and will have no impact on Ricoh's consolidated financial position. Ricoh adopted ASU 2013-02 from April 1 2013. This ASU requires an entity to report the effect of reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income. This ASU will only impact disclosures and will have no impact on Ricoh's consolidated financial position. 5 5. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (1) CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEETS
