Ouch - operating income for the last qrt for down 90% on last year! A lot of this was because they sold their HQ last year, for a one-off profit of 60bn yen (about half the profit) - but a lot of the rest was their financial segment dragging the company down.
Income before tax was down 95% on previous year!
...
Their sales forecast hasn't dropped by much - in fact their overall sales projection has barely budged (around 2% down).
I can only think its losses from the financial segment for the entire FY eating into profit for the entire company.
Bravia sales forecast down around 5% - not much at all.
...
