Quoting
(AP) TOKYO - Sony Corp. (SNE) more than doubled its projected annual loss to 520 billion yen ($6.4 billion), its worst red ink ever, due to a massive tax charge.
With new CEO Kazuo Hirai at its helm, the Japanese electronics company said Tuesday it expects an additional tax expense of 300 billion yen in the fiscal fourth quarter ending March 30. It said this non-cash charge stemmed from revaluing U.S. tax credits that are unlikely to be utilized due to its string of annual losses.
In February, it had projected an annual net loss of 220 billion yen amid weak TV sales, the strong yen and production disruptions from flooding in Thailand.
The company said its operating loss forecast was unchanged at a loss of 95 billion yen ($1.2 billion). It forecast a return to profit in the year through March 2013.
Japanese news reports on Monday said Sony would cut about 10,000 jobs worldwide over the next year as it tries to return to profit, but the company would not confirm that.
This would be the fourth year of red ink for Sony - a daunting challenge for Hirai, who took over as CEO from Welsh-born Howard Stringer this month. Hirai is due to outline the company's new corporate strategy to journalists on Thursday.
Sony, whose businesses sprawl from cameras and cellphones to PlayStation game consoles and movies such as "The Smurfs," has for years been struggling to regain the swagger and creative flair that made it a dominant force in the global electronics industry in the 1980s and early 1990s.

Report: Sony to cut 10,000 jobs worldwide - [AUTOLINK]CBS[/AUTOLINK] News
Quoting
(AP) TOKYO - Japanese news reports say Sony Corp. (SNE) will cut about 10,000 jobs worldwide over the next year.
The Nikkei business daily and other media Monday said Sony's decision to slash 6 percent of its workforce comes as it struggles with weak TV sales and swelling losses.
Sony spokeswoman Yoko Yasukouchi wouldn't confirm the reports. New CEO Kazuo Hirai is holding a press conference Thursday.
Sony has announced restructuring plans by selling its chemical unit. Sony is also merging its LCD panel operation with Toshiba and Hitachi. Yasukouchi said those changes could affect up to 5,000 employees who are subject to transfers.
Sony reported a 159 billion yen ($2.1 billion) loss for October-December and more than doubled its projected loss for the full fiscal year.

Source: Sony set to buy EMI for $2.2 Billion with EU clearing - SlashGear
Quoting
The European Union has had competition regulators investigate and subsequently OK a plan this week to allow an investor group lead by Sony Corporation to purchase the music-publishing devision of EMI Group LTD. for a whopping $2.2 billion dollars. While this amount may seem strikingly low considering the recent purchase of the application Instagram by Facebook for $1 billion, it appears that the music market and the mobile market simply are not working on the same level at the moment. Those of you wondering where Michael Jackson (mentioned several times in the proceedings) comes in to all this are not alone – it’s the Sony/ATV 50/50 joint venture between Sony and the estate of Michael Jackson that are purchasing EMI this week.
