Sony Q2 FY2025 Consolidated Financial Results

Entertainment, Technology & Service Segment take aways.

FY25 Q2 sales decreased 7% year-on-year, primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of TVs.
Operating income decreased 13% year-on-year primarily due to the impact of the decrease in sales, partially offset by reductions in operating expenses.
We have slightly increased our full-year forecast for sales from the previous forecast to 2 trillion 300 billion yen, and we have decreased our operating income forecast 11% to 160 billion yen, reflecting a 20 billion yen impact from tariffs from this quarter.

Imaging & Sensing Solutions Segment Take Aways.

Sales for the quarter increased 15% year-on-year and operating income increased 50%, both reaching record quarterly highs for the segment. This was primarily due to higher unit prices resulting from larger-sized sensors for mobile devices and increased sales volume of sensors for consumer cameras.
We upwardly revised our full-year forecast for sales 2% to 1 trillion 990 billion yen and operating income 11% to 310 billion yen, primarily due to the impact of foreign exchange rates.
Based on the trends in the final product market and the demand forecasts from our customers to date, we have decided not to include any impact from tariffs in the forecast for this segment.
