year 2012. Our financial services business also grew its revenue and operating profit by de-
livering financial products and services, primarily life and non-life insurance, with high cus-
tomer satisfaction.
　Consolidated sales and operating revenue in fiscal year 2012 rose 4.7%, to 6,800.9 billion
yen, reflecting the positive impact of the consolidation of Sony Mobile Communications* as
a wholly-owned subsidiary, favorable foreign exchange rates and the above-mentioned in-
crease in financial services revenue. Combined, these factors more than oset the negative
impact of decreased unit sales of many key electronics products, as well as divested busi-
nesses.
　Operating income amounted to 230.1 billion yen, a significant improvement over the op-
erating loss of 67.3 billion yen recorded in the prior fiscal year. The overall operating income
improvement was primarily due to the recording of sales and remeasurement gains associ-
ated with the asset sales mentioned earlier, as well as improved results in the television
business, Devices, Financial Services and Pictures segments.
　Driven by the above operating income improvement and other factors, net income at-
tributable to Sony Corporation’s stockholders was 43.0 billion yen, compared with a net loss
of 456.7 billion yen in the previous fiscal year, bringing us to full-year profitability for the
first time in five years.
