Olympus to announce April-Dec. earnings results on Feb. 13+

Scandal-hit Olympus Corp. said Friday it will announce its group earnings results for the April to December period on Feb. 13, with President Shuichi Takayama giving a press conference in Tokyo.
Many analysts expect Olympus to report lackluster earnings for the nine-month period after posting a group net loss of 32.33 billion yen for the April to September half due mainly to its sluggish digital camera business.
The Japanese camera and medical equipment maker, battered by the revelation of a coverup of massive investment losses, avoided being delisted from the Tokyo Stock Exchange last week.
