The bad outlook is related to the PC business... I found in the documents.
| Restructuring charges are expected to be approximately 70 billion yen for the Sony group (compared to 77.5 billion yen recorded in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013), an increase of 20 billion yen from the October forecast, primarily in the MP&C segment. This amount will be recorded as an operating expense and is included in the above-mentioned forecast for operating income. The increase of 20 billion yen in the current fiscal year is due to the implementation of certain measures to mainly address Sony’s reforming of its PC and Television businesses, as announced today, February 6, 2014. Also, Sony expects to allocate a further 70 billion yen (approximate) in restructuring charges in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015 in order to implement these measures, which are expected to result in annual fixed cost reductions of more than 100 billion yen (approximate) starting in the fiscal year ending March 31, 2016. |
