Sony's profits rises on robust performance for music, movies and games
HighlightsSony Corporation reported an 18 per cent increase in annual profit for the fiscal year ending March, totaling 1.14 trillion yen (USD 7.8 billion), driven by strong performances in its music and video-game divisions. The film division of Sony Corporation saw success with box office hits such as 'Venom: The Last Dance' and 'Bad Boys: Ride or Die', contributing positively to overall revenue. Despite a successful fiscal year, Sony Corporation forecasts a nearly 13% decline in profit for the upcoming fiscal year through March 2026, predicting a total profit of 930 billion yen (USD 6.3 billion). Japanese technology and entertainment company Sony logged an 18% rise in profit for the fiscal year through March on healthy results at its music and video-game operations. Tokyo-based Sony Corp. said Wednesday that its annual profit totaled 1.14 trillion yen (USD 7.8 billion), up from 970.6 billion yen in the previous fiscal year. Annual sales were virtually unchanged, inching down to 12.957 trillion yen (USD 88 billion) from 13.020 trillion yen. One area that lagged among Sony's sprawling businesses was the financial segment, where revenue stalled. But its film division and its imaging and sensor solutions segment did well. Among the movies that fared positively at the box office for the fiscal year through March were "Venom: The Last Dance," featuring the Marvel Comics superhero, and "Bad Boys: Ride or Die," an action comedy, in which Will Smith and Martin Lawrence come back in their popular cop roles, the fourth installment in the series. Sony, which makes the PlayStation console and game software played on that machine, also marked healthy results in the gaming business. Its music operations, which also held up, include recordings, streaming services and music for games. The top-selling recorded music projects for the latest fiscal year globally was SZA's "SOS Deluxe: LANA," followed by Beyonce, Future & Metro Boomin and Travis Scott. For the Japan music business, the top-seller was Kenshi Yonezu's "Lost Corner" album, followed by offerings from Stray Kids and Six Tones. For the January-March quarter, Sony posted a 197.7 billion yen (USD 1.3 billion) profit, up 5 per cent from 189 billion yen the same quarter in the previous fiscal year. Sales were 2.6 trillion yen (USD 17.7 billion), down 24 per cent from 3.48 trillion yen. Sony is forecasting a nearly 13 per cent drop in profit for the fiscal year through March 2026, to 930 billion yen (USD 6.3 billion), on 11.7 trillion yen (USD 80 billion) sales, down 2.9 per cent on-year. Sony officials are set to brief reporters on the latest company strategy for growth later in the day. Sony stocks lost 3 per cent in Tokyo morning trading.
