Sony’s Financial Foundations
The Next Step
While we were able to achieve profitability on a consolidated, net income basis, unfortu-
nately we were not able to return the electronics business to profitability on an operating
profit basis in fiscal year 2012. Therefore, in fiscal year 2013 (ending March 31, 2014), we will
continue to take aggressive measures to transform our businesses, turn around the elec-
tronics business and position Sony for growth.
　At our Corporate Strategy Meeting on May 22, 2013, we announced the three key initia-
tives for fiscal year 2013, which are to reinforce our electronics business, further strengthen
profitability in the entertainment and financial services businesses and continue to reinforce
our financial foundations.
