Sony released its FY2024 financial results. As usual, there is little information provided for the camera business, which is part of the Entertainment, Technology & Services Segment (ET&S Segment):
- Despite the impact of the decrease in sales and the recording of additional restructuring charges in the fourth quarter ended March 31, 2025, operating income increased 2% year-on-year to 190.9 billion yen, primarily due to a reduction in operational expenses.
- The interchangeable lens camera market performed well in FY24 Q4, mainly in the Chinese market which benefited from subsidies, and grew approximately 9% year-on-year on a unit basis.
- During this fiscal year, we plan to operate our business conservatively, prioritizing risk mitigation, because we anticipate disruptions to markets and supply chains due to the recently adopted U.S. tariffs.
