Faltering branches? It isn't for their smartphones. They provide camera sensors for Apple, Samsung and many others. iPhones use Sony CMOS sensors on its cameras. And they also sell digital cameras and own most of the point-and-shoot market.
All these companies are selling more and more devices each year, Sony needs to keep ramping up their production capabilities to keep on with the demand. It's one of their most lucrative divisions right now.
