Nikon's own Corporate Data page states consolidated revenue of JPY 677,163 million for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (IFRS). Converted at 157.17526 JPY/USD, the ECB euro reference rate for 2026-09-22 cross-rated (USD 1.1463 and JPY 180.17 per EUR, https://www.ecb.europa.eu/stats/eurofxref/eurofxref-daily.xml), giving approximately USD 4,308,330,726, rounded to the nearest million. Corroborated independently by Nikon Rumors' 2026-05-08 report of the same results announcement ("Nikon reported consolidated revenue of ¥677.1 billion, down 5.3% year-over-year").
