Operating Results

Looking back at the global economy in the second quarter of 2018, the U.S. economy continued to grow steadily as corporate earnings and employment conditions improved. In Europe, unemployment rate remained at a low level, mainly in Germany and the U.K., and the economy continued to recover moderately, mainly driven by domestic demand. The Chinese economy rallied due to improving consumer spending as personal income increased, and the economies of emerging countries continued to realize moderate growth. In Japan, capital investment increased moderately due to increasing exports. As a result, the global economy overall continued to realize moderate recovery.

As for the markets in which Canon operates amid these conditions, demand for office multifunction devices (“MFDs”) remained at around the same level as the previous year, while demand for laser printers continued to recover, mainly in emerging countries. The market for cameras continued to decline while the market for inkjet printers achieved moderate growth. Additionally, while demand for medical equipment remained at around the same level as the previous year in Japan, demand was solid in other markets. Within the Industry and Others sector, capital investment in semiconductor lithography equipment increased and the demand for network cameras also enjoyed solid growth.

The average values of the yen during the second quarter and the first half of the year were ¥109.14 and ¥108.61 against the U.S. dollar, respectively, year-on-year appreciation of approximately ¥2 and ¥4, and ¥129.97 and ¥131.45 against the euro, respectively, year-on-year depreciation of approximately ¥8 and ¥10.

Operating Results (continued)

[Second quarter results]

During the second quarter, unit sales of office MFDs increased compared with the same period of the previous year due to the expanded sales of color models. Additionally, unit sales of laser printers increased compared with the same period of the previous year, supported by the steady sales of newly launched models, as demand recovered in emerging countries. Total sales volume of interchangeable-lens digital cameras decreased compared with the same period of the previous year due to the shrinking market, however sales of mirrorless cameras increased mainly supported by sales of new products. Looking at inkjet printers, unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year, mainly due to a review of our distribution channels. For medical equipment, diagnostic ultrasound systems experienced solid demand, mainly outside of Japan, achieving increased sales compared with the same period of the previous year. For industrial equipment, sales of semiconductor lithography equipment increased significantly, compared with the same period of the previous year, thanks to favorable market conditions, and sales of network cameras increased steadily. Under these conditions, second-quarter net sales increased by 1.4% year on year to ¥1,006.4 billion. The gross profit ratio dropped by 2.7 points to 47.2% and gross profit decreased by 4.1% year on year to ¥474.6 billion due to mainly the fact that certain costs that were under operating expenses have been reclassified under cost of sales by adopting new accounting standards related to revenue recognitions. Operating expenses decreased by 6.1% year on year to ¥376.6 billion, thanks to continuous Group-wide cost down efforts and efforts to reduce spending as well as the impact of the aforementioned reclassification of figures as part of the adoption of new accounting standards. As a result, second-quarter operating profit increased by 4.4% to ¥98.0 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥6.4 billion, mainly due to foreign currency exchange gains, while income before income taxes increased by 10.6% year on year to ¥110.1 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 12.3% to ¥77.7 billion.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥71.93 for the second quarter, a year-on-year increase of ¥8.40.

[First-half results]

During the first half, unit sales of office MFDs increased compared with the same period of the previous year due to the expanded sales of color models. Additionally, unit sales of laser printers increased compared with the same period of the previous year, supported by the steady sales of newly launched models, as demand recovered in emerging countries. Total sales volume of interchangeable-lens digital cameras decreased compared with the same period of the previous year due to the shrinking market, however sales of mirrorless cameras increased mainly supported by sales of new products. Looking at inkjet printers, unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year, mainly due to a review of our distribution channels. For medical equipment, diagnostic ultrasound systems experienced solid demand, mainly outside of Japan. However, sales overall decreased compared with the same period of the previous year mainly because sales for the first quarter of the previous year were particularly high. For industrial equipment, sales of semiconductor lithography equipment increased significantly, compared with the same period of the previous year, thanks to favorable market conditions, and sales of network cameras increased steadily. Under these conditions, net sales for the first half of the year increased by 0.1% year on year to ¥1,967.1 billion. The gross profit ratio dropped by 2.3 points to 46.7% and gross profit decreased by 4.5% year on year to ¥919.2 billion due to mainly the fact that certain costs that were under operating expenses have been reclassified under cost of sales by adopting new accounting standards related to revenue recognitions. Operating expenses decreased by 6.5% year on year to ¥744.2 billion, thanks to continuous Group-wide cost down efforts and efforts to reduce spending as well as the impact of the aforementioned reclassification of figures as part of the adoption of new accounting standards. As a result, first-half operating profit increased by 4.8% to ¥175.0 billion. Other income (deductions) increased by ¥10.3 billion, mainly due to foreign currency exchange gains, while income before income taxes increased by 10.3% year on year to ¥195.9 billion and net income attributable to Canon Inc. increased by 8.5% to ¥134.8 billion.

Basic net income attributable to Canon Inc. shareholders per share was ¥124.83 for the first half, a year-on-year increase of ¥10.85.

Operating Results (continued)

Looking at Canon’s first-half performance by business unit, starting with the Office Business Unit, unit sales of office MFDs increased from the same period of the previous year, supported by such models as the newly launched next-generation A3 (12”x18”) color imageRUNNER ADVANCE C3500 series and, the imageRUNNER C3020 series, strategic models for emerging countries. In commercial printing, sales of the newly launched Océ-produced Colorado 1640, wide-format roll-to-roll printer, were solid. As for laser printers, sales increased compared with the same period of the previous year, supported by steady sales of new models that achieved low power consumption, compact body designs and high productivity, and steady sales of consumables. Under these conditions, sales for the combined first six months of the year totaled ¥935.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 0.8%, while operating profit totaled ¥114.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 3.2%.

Within the Imaging System Business Unit, unit sales volume of interchangeable-lens digital cameras decreased compared with the same period of the previous year, due to the gradually shrinking market. However, Canon maintained the top share in the overall interchangeable-lens digital camera market, mainly in the United States, Europe and Japan. Within this, as for mirrorless cameras, the newly launched EOS Kiss M, an entry-level model with shooting functions matching those of higher-level models, enjoyed strong demand. As for digital compact cameras, although unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year amid the shrinking market, sales of such high-value-added models as the PowerShot G-series enjoyed solid demand. For inkjet printers, although demand was strong for refillable ink tank models and large format inkjet printers, overall unit sales decreased compared with the same period of the previous year due to a review of distribution channels. As a result, sales for the business unit totaled ¥482.3 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 8.1%, while operating profit totaled ¥59.5 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 23.5%.

Within the Medical System Business Unit, although Canon Medical Systems Corporation’s computed tomography (“CT”) products maintained the top share in the Japanese market and sales of the newly launched diagnostic ultrasound systems, Aplio i-series, equipped with proprietary high-resolution imaging technology, grew steadily mainly outside of Japan, sales for the first half decreased, mainly due to the fact that sales for the first quarter of the previous year were particularly high. As a result, sales for the business unit totaled ¥211.8 billion, a year-on-year decrease of 3.9%, while operating profit totaled ¥12.4 billion, a year-on-year increase of 23.6%, mainly thanks to a shift in sales strategy away from selling low profitability models to pursue improvements in profitability.

In the Industry and Others Business Unit, unit sales of semiconductor lithography equipment increased significantly from the same period of the previous year supported by active capital investment due to increasing demand for memory devices. Additionally, manufacturing equipment for Organic LED (“OLED”) panels enjoyed solid sales. As for network cameras, Axis enjoyed solid sales amid increasing market demand. Consequently, sales for the business unit totaled ¥388.8 billion, a year-on-year increase of 16.1%, while operating profit totaled ¥42.9 billion, a year-on-year increase of 96.3%.

Operating Results (continued)

Cash Flows

During the first half of 2018, cash flow from operating activities totaled ¥164.9 billion, a decrease of ¥144.3 billion compared with the same period of the previous year, owing to increase of working capital and payment of income taxes. Cash flow from investing activities decreased ¥18.1 billion a year-on-year to ¥89.7 billion as a result of a decrease in the amount of time deposits included in short-term investments. Accordingly, free cash flow totaled ¥75.1 billion, a decrease of ¥126.2 billion compared with the corresponding year-ago period.

Cash flow from financing activities recorded an outlay of ¥144.5 billion, mainly owing to the dividend payout, and the repayment of long-term debt.

Owing to these factors, as well as the impact from foreign currency translation adjustments, cash and cash equivalents decreased by ¥84.3 billion to ¥637.5 billion from the end of the previous year.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We have reported our financial results in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, we have discussed our results using “free cash flow,” which is a non-GAAP measure.

We believe this measure, which takes into consideration the Company’s operating and investing activities, is beneficial to an investor’s understanding of Canon’s current liquidity and the alternatives of use in financing activities.

A reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure and the most directly comparable measures calculated and presented in accordance with U.S. GAAP are set forth on the following table.

CANON INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

 

(1)

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

 

  (a)

Basis of Presentation

The Company issued convertible debentures in the United States in May 1969 and established a program in which its American Depositary Receipts (ADRs) were traded in the U.S. over-the-counter market. Since then, under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933 and the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Company has prepared its annual consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP and filed them with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 20-F. The Company’s ADRs were listed on the NYSE in September 2000 after being quoted on NASDAQ from February 1972 to September 2000.

Canon’s quarterly consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the recognition and measurement criteria of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Certain disclosures have been omitted.

The number of consolidated subsidiaries and affiliated companies that were accounted for by the equity method as of June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are summarized as follows:

 

   

      June 30, 2018      

  

    December 31, 2017    

Consolidated subsidiaries

  379      376  

Affiliated companies

  8      7  
 

 

  

 

Total

  387      383  

 

  (b)

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its majority owned subsidiaries and those variable interest entities where the Company or its consolidated subsidiaries are the primary beneficiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated.

Recent Accounting Guidance

Recently adopted accounting guidance

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606) Section C – Background Information and Basis for Conclusions, which is a new accounting standard related to revenue from contracts with customers, as amended. (Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 606) This standard requires an entity to recognize revenue when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Canon adopted this standard from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018 with modified retrospective method of adoption to contracts that were not completed as of the adoption. The cumulative-effects to the retained earnings and the impact on the consolidated result of operations for the six and three months ended June 30, 2018 from the adoption of this standard were not material. For further information, please refer to Note 10.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, Financial Instruments – Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, which is an amendment which addresses certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. This guidance includes the requirement that equity investments that do not result in consolidation and are not accounted for under the equity method be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized in net income. Canon adopted this standard from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018, and Canon recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings of ¥5,343 million as of January 1, 2018 for the after-tax unrealized gains of available-for-sale equity securities previously recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-entity Transfers of Assets other than Inventory, which requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs. Consequently, the amendments in this guidance eliminate the exception for an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory. Two common examples of assets included in the scope of this guidance are intellectual property and property, plant, and equipment. The amendments in this guidance should be applied on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Canon adopted this standard from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operation and financial condition.

Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation – Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, which requires an entity to disaggregate the service cost component from the other components of net benefit cost and present it in the same line item or items as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented separately from the service cost component, such as in other income (deductions) in the income statement. The amendments also allow only the service cost component to be eligible for capitalization (for example, as a cost of internally manufactured inventory). The amendments are to be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost, and prospectively for the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost. Canon adopted this guidance from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018. The adoption of the new presentation requirement of the service cost component and the other components of net benefit cost resulted in reclassification of ¥1,080 million from cost of sales, ¥2,214 million from selling, general and administrative expenses and ¥1,668 million from research and development expenses into other income (deductions) for the six months ended June 30, 2017, and reclassification of ¥545 million from cost of sales, ¥1,107 million from selling, general and administrative expenses and ¥835 million from research and development expenses into other income (deductions) for the three months ended June 30, 2017, respectively. Please refer to Note 16 for additional information. The adoption of the capitalization of the service cost component of net benefit cost did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) Section A – Leases: Amendments to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification, which requires lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets but recognize expenses on their income statements in a manner similar to current guidance. For lessors, the guidance modifies the classification criteria and the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. The new guidance is required to be applied with a modified retrospective approach. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Canon currently plans to adopt the guidance from the quarter beginning after January 1, 2019. The adoption of the guidance is expected to have an impact on its consolidated balance sheet by recognizing right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for non-cancelable operating leases. Canon is currently evaluating the effect that the adoption of the guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which amends existing guidance to simplify the application of the hedge accounting in certain situations and enable an entity to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements. This guidance eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness, and requires an entity to present the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. Canon is currently evaluating the adoption date and the effect that the adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

Revenue

Canon generates revenue principally through the sale of office, imaging system and medical system products, industrial equipment, supplies and related services under separate contractual arrangements. Revenue is recognized when, or as, control of promised goods or services transfers to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which Canon expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring these goods or services.

Revenue from sales of office products, such as office MFDs and laser printers, and imaging system products, such as digital cameras and inkjet printers, is recognized upon shipment or delivery, depending upon when the customer obtains controls of these products.

Revenue from sales of equipment that are sold with customer acceptance provisions related to their functionality including optical equipment such as semiconductor lithography equipment and FPD lithography equipment, and certain medical equipment such as computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging, is recognized when the equipment is installed at the customer site and the agreed-upon specifications are objectively satisfied.

Most of Canon’s service revenues are generated from maintenance services for office products which the customer typically pays a variable amount based on usage, a stated fixed fee or a stated base fee plus a variable amount, and for certain medical system products with a stated fixed fee. Canon recognizes revenue from maintenance service contract on overtime basis as it satisfies the underlying performance obligation. The majority of maintenance service arrangements for office products are executed in combination with related products. Transaction prices for products and maintenance services need to be allocated to each performance obligation on a relative standalone selling price basis where significant judgements are required. Canon estimates the standalone selling price using a range of prices that would meet the allocation objective based on all information that is reasonably available including market conditions and other observable inputs. If transaction prices of the product or service contracts are not within the acceptable range then the revenue is subject to allocation based on the estimated standalone selling prices.

The transaction prices that Canon is entitled to receive in exchange for transferring goods or services to the customer include certain forms of variable consideration, including product discounts, customer promotions and volume-based rebates mainly for imaging system products, which are sold predominantly through distributors and retailers. Canon includes estimated amounts in the transaction price only to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. Variable considerations are estimated based upon historical trends and other known factors at the time of sale, and are subsequently adjusted in each period based on current information.

Canon records amounts received in advance from customers in excess of revenue recognized primarily for optical equipment and maintenance services as deferred revenue until the performance obligation for distinct goods or services are satisfied. Deferred revenue at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were ¥119,940 million and ¥125,965 million, respectively, and are included in other current liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. Revenue recognized for the six months ended June 30, 2018, which had been included in the deferred revenue balance at December 31, 2017, was ¥91,884 million.

Performance obligations that are unsatisfied or partially unsatisfied at June 30, 2018 primarily relate to maintenance service contracts for the office and medical system products. The original contract periods of these contracts range primarily from one to six years.

Revenue (continued)

Taxes collected from customers and remitted to governmental authorities are excluded from revenues in the consolidated statements of income.

Canon recognized contract assets primarily for unbilled receivables arising from maintenance services for office products totalled to ¥42,915 million at the adoption date and included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheet with an offsetting impact to trade receivables. Contract assets at June 30, 2018 were ¥47,720 million.

Canon has started separating revenues and cost of sales into products and services in the consolidated statements of income starting from the quarter beginning January 1, 2018, including prior period’s presentation. The adoption of the new revenue standard required the reconsideration of the scope of performance obligations related to product maintenance services, which has resulted in a change in classification of revenues between the products and service revenues. Maintenance service revenues, which were historically allocated into products revenues and service revenues, are currently accounted for as a single performance obligation and are classified as service revenues. The reconsideration of the scope of performance obligations did not materially affect the timing of revenue recognition. Canon has also, reclassified certain expenses related to service revenues from operating expenses to cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. The amount reclassified for the six months and three months ended June 30, 2018 were ¥57,487 million and ¥28,188 million, respectively.

Disaggregated revenue by business unit, product and geographic area are described in Note 17.

Derivatives and Hedging Activities

Risk management policy

Canon operates internationally, exposing it to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Derivative financial instruments are comprised principally of foreign exchange contracts utilized by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to reduce the risk. Canon assesses foreign currency exchange rate risk by continually monitoring changes in the exposures and by evaluating hedging opportunities. Canon does not hold or issue derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. Canon is also exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to derivative financial instruments, but it is not expected that any counterparties will fail to meet their obligations. Most of the counterparties are internationally recognized financial institutions and selected by Canon taking into account their financial condition, and contracts are diversified across a number of major financial institutions.

Foreign currency exchange rate risk management

Canon’s international operations expose Canon to the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. Canon uses foreign exchange contracts to manage certain foreign currency exchange exposures principally from the exchange of U.S. dollars and euros into Japanese yen. These contracts are primarily used to hedge the foreign currency exposure of forecasted intercompany sales and intercompany trade receivables that are denominated in foreign currencies. In accordance with Canon’s policy, a specific portion of foreign currency exposure resulting from forecasted intercompany sales is hedged using foreign exchange contracts which principally mature within three months.

Cash flow hedge

Changes in the fair value of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges, including foreign exchange contracts associated with forecasted intercompany sales, are reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). These amounts are subsequently reclassified into earnings through other income (deductions) in the same period as the hedged items affect earnings. Substantially all amounts recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of June 30, 2018 are expected to be recognized in earnings over the next twelve months. Canon excludes the time value component from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. Changes in the fair value of a foreign exchange contract for the period between the date that the forecasted intercompany sales occur and its maturity date are recognized in earnings and not considered hedge ineffectiveness.

Derivatives not designated as hedges

Canon has entered into certain foreign exchange contracts to primarily offset the earnings impact related to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates associated with certain assets denominated in foreign currencies. Although these foreign exchange contracts have not been designated as hedges as required in order to apply hedge accounting, the contracts are effective from an economic perspective. The changes in the fair value of these contracts are recorded in earnings immediately.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Commitments

As of June 30, 2018, commitments outstanding for the purchase of property, plant and equipment approximated ¥51,123 million, and commitments outstanding for the purchase of parts and raw materials approximated ¥124,457 million.

Canon occupies sales offices and other facilities under lease arrangements accounted for as operating leases. Deposits made under such arrangements aggregated ¥13,057 million and ¥13,740 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and are included in noncurrent receivables in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Future minimum lease payments required under noncancelable operating leases are ¥24,668 million (within one year) and ¥79,911 million (after one year), at June 30, 2018.

Guarantees

Canon provides guarantees for its employees, affiliates and other companies. The guarantees for the employees are principally made for their housing loans. The guarantees for affiliates and other companies are made for their lease obligations and bank loans to ensure that those companies operate with less financial risk.

Canon would have to perform under a guarantee if the borrower defaults on a payment within the contract terms. The contract terms are 1 year to 30 years in case of employees with housing loans, and 1 year to 7 years in case of affiliates and other companies with lease obligations and bank loans. The maximum amount of undiscounted payments Canon would have had to make in the event of default is ¥5,146 million at June 30, 2018. The carrying amounts of the liabilities recognized for Canon’s obligations as a guarantor under those guarantees at June 30, 2018 were not significant.

Canon also offers assurance-type warranties under which it generally guarantees the performance of products delivered and services rendered for a certain period or term. Estimated product warranty costs are recorded at the time revenue is recognized and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. Estimates for accrued product warranty costs are based on historical experience. Changes in accrued product warranty cost for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 are summarized as follows:

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities (continued)

Legal proceedings

Canon is involved in various claims and legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business. Canon has recorded provisions for liabilities when it is probable that liabilities have been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Canon reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of the negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, although litigation is inherently unpredictable, Canon believes that any damage amounts claimed in outstanding matters are not a meaningful indicator of Canon’s potential liability. In the opinion of management, any reasonably possible range of losses from outstanding matters would not have a material adverse effect on Canon’s consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Concentrations of Credit Risk

Fair value of financial instruments

The estimated fair values of Canon’s financial instruments at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are set forth below. The following summary excludes cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, finance receivables, noncurrent receivables, short-term loans, trade payables and accrued expenses for which fair values approximate their carrying amounts. The summary also excludes investments and derivative instruments which are disclosed in Note 2 and Note15, and Note12, respectively.

     (447,359)         (447,343)         (499,168)         (499,126)   

The following methods and assumptions are used to estimate the fair value in the above table.

Long-term debt

Canon’s long-term debt instruments are classified as Level 2 instruments and valued based on the present value of future cash flows associated with each instrument discounted using current market borrowing rates for similar debt instruments of comparable maturity. The levels are more fully described in Note 15.

Limitations of fair value estimates

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instruments. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.

Concentrations of credit risk

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, one customer accounted for approximately 12% and 8% of consolidated trade receivables, respectively. Although Canon does not expect that the customer will fail to meet its obligations, Canon is potentially exposed to concentrations of credit risk if the customer failed to perform according to the terms of the contracts.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value is as follows:

 

Level 1 -  

Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 -  

Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable, and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

Level 3 -  

Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable, which reflect the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in establishing a price.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The following tables present Canon’s assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consistent with the fair value hierarchy at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017.

Level 1 investments are comprised principally of Japanese equity securities, which are valued using an unadjusted quoted market price in active markets with sufficient volume and frequency of transactions. Level 2 cash and cash equivalents are valued based on market approach, using quoted prices for identical assets in markets that are not active.

Derivative financial instruments are comprised of foreign exchange contracts. Level 2 derivatives are valued using quotes obtained from counterparties or third parties, which are periodically validated by pricing models using observable market inputs, such as foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, based on market approach.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis

During the six and three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, there were no circumstances that required any significant assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

Supplemental Information (continued)

Finance receivables represent financing leases which consist of sales-type leases and direct-financing leases resulting from the sales of Canon’s and complementary third-party products. These receivables typically have terms ranging from 1 year to 6 years. Finance receivables are ¥336,547 million and ¥342,239 million at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. Finance receivables which are individually evaluated for impairment at June 30, 2018 and 2017 are not significant.

The activities in the allowance for credit losses are as follows:

Canon has policies in place to ensure that its products are sold to customers with an appropriate credit history, and continuously monitors its customers’ credit quality based on information including length of period in arrears, macroeconomic conditions, initiation of legal proceedings against customers and bankruptcy filings. The allowance for credit losses of finance receivables are evaluated collectively based on historical experience of credit losses. An additional reserve for individual accounts is recorded when Canon becomes aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings. Finance receivables which are past due at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are not significant.
