It is owned 50% by Sony, therefore its results are reflected on Sony's financial results as well.

In fact they always include these results on Sony's financial reports.

 

please correct me if i'm wrong but on sony's financials isn't sony ericsson lump under the same division as playstation?  i think i remember someone posting that.

...and i don't know why you're being attacked.  on behalf of my console preference i appoligize, this was an interesting topic to me.

Nope, they report separately. See for example their 2009 Q2 results:

Sony Ericsson has its own slide (number 17).

What happens is: Sony Ericsson does its own financial report, which always comes before Ericsson and Sony financial reports. The latter two then incorporate the results into their own financial results. Not very different from any division, just a little bit more independent (but financially every bit as dependent as any other division).
