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 />
