Fiscal Year in Review<br />
• Segment sales decreased 6% compared with the<br />
previous year, although U.S. dollar-denominated sales<br />
edged up 2%, representing a new record for SPE. This<br />
increase was led by growth in television revenue.<br />
• Television revenue rose significantly due to contributions<br />
from The King of Queens, Seinfeld and Wheel<br />
of Fortune.<br />
• Operating income fell 40%, despite an increase in<br />
operating income from television, primarily owing to<br />
the absence of profits contributed by the hit film<br />
Spider-Man in the previous year.<br />
Fiscal Year in Review<br />
• Segment revenue rose 11%, reflecting an improvement<br />
in valuation gains and losses from investments<br />
at <strong>Sony</strong> Life.<br />
• Operating income soared 142%, owing to an<br />
improvement in valuation gains and losses from<br />
investments in the general account at <strong>Sony</strong> Life.<br />
Fiscal Year in Review<br />
• Segment sales increased 8%, owing to higher sales<br />
by in-house information system services business<br />
and by the IC card business.<br />
• Operating loss declined as a result of a one-time<br />
gain on the sale of rights related to a portion of the<br />
<strong>Sony</strong> Credit Card portfolio by a U.S. subsidiary.<br />
