  • Going forward, we will aim to reduce the impact on our business by quickly taking any action as necessary.

    展望未來,我們將致力於通過迅速採取必要的行動來減少對我們業務的影響。

  • Now let me talk about business segment.

    現在我來談談業務板塊。

  • First, Game & Network Services.

    首先,遊戲和網絡服務。

  • First, although PlayStation 4 hardware sales and network service sales including sales of PlayStation Plus increased year-on-year, overall segment sales decreased 3% to JPY 457.5 billion due to decrease in game software sales.

    首先,儘管PlayStation 4硬件銷售額和包括PlayStation Plus銷售額在內的網絡服務銷售額同比增長,但由於遊戲軟件銷售額下降,整體部門銷售額下降3%至4,575億日元。

  • Operating income decreased JPY 9.6 billion year-on-year to JPY 73.8 billion.

    營業收入同比減少96億日元至738億日元。

  • This decrease was primarily due to the decrease in contribution from the first-party game software compared with the same quarter the previous year in which God of War was a major hit.

    這一下降主要是由於第一方遊戲軟件的貢獻較上年同期(《戰神》大熱)有所下降。

  • We have revised downward our forecast for fiscal '19 sales by JPY 100 billion to JPY 2.200 trillion.

    我們已將 19 財年銷售額預測下調 1000 億日元至 2.200 萬億日元。

  • We have not changed the operating income forecast, and that's JPY 280 billion.

    我們沒有改變營業收入預測,即 2800 億日元。

  • PS4 hardware unit sales in the first quarter was slightly below our expectation because of the news regarding our next-generation consoles.

    由於有關我們下一代遊戲機的消息,第一季度 PS4 硬件銷量略低於我們的預期。

  • And we have reduced the annual sales forecast by 1 million units to 15 million units.

    我們將年銷量預測下調了100萬台至1500萬台。

  • 3.2 million units were sold during the current quarter, essentially unchanged year-on-year.

    本季度銷量為 320 萬台,同比基本持平。

  • And we have reached the 100 million cumulative units on a shipment basis.

    我們的累計出貨量已經達到1億台。

  • The fact that we plan to sell 15 million units in this fiscal year, the seventh year since launch, demonstrates that PS4 platform is still garnering support from many users.

    我們計劃在本財年(自推出以來的第七年)銷售 1500 萬台,這表明 PS4 平台仍然獲得了許多用戶的支持。

  • We have revised downward our forecast for game software sales to be flat year-on-year due to a decrease in third-party game software especially free-to-play games.

    由於第三方遊戲軟件(尤其是免費遊戲)的減少,我們下調了遊戲軟件銷售的預測,同比持平。

  • We expect Network Services sales to be above the previous fiscal year.

    我們預計網絡服務銷售額將高於上一財年。

  • The goals for this segment this fiscal year are preparing for the launch of the next-generation platform as well as maintaining and expanding the community we have built among users.

    本財年該部門的目標是準備推出下一代平台,以及維護和擴大我們在用戶中建立的社區。

  • As of the first quarter, we are on track to achieve these goals.

    截至第一季度,我們有望實現這些目標。

  • Next, explaining about the Music segment.

    接下來,解釋一下音樂部分。

  • The first quarter sales increased 11% year-on-year to JPY 202.3 billion.

    第一季度銷售額同比增長11%至2023億日元。

  • This significant increase was mainly due to higher sales for Music Publishing resulting from the consolidation of EMI Music Publishing as well as higher streaming revenues partially offset though by lower Visual Media and Platforms sales mainly caused by lower sales of Fate/Grand Order, a game application for mobile devices.

    這一顯著增長主要是由於 EMI 音樂出版合併導致音樂出版銷售額增加,以及流媒體收入增加,但部分抵消了視覺媒體和平台銷售額下降(主要是遊戲應用程序《命運/冠位指定》銷售額下降)對於移動設備。

  • Streaming revenues in the Recorded Music business grew 27% from last year mainly due to expansion of the market and contribution from releases such as Lil Nas X's Old Town Road, which is expected to be one of the biggest hit songs of the year.

    錄製音樂業務的流媒體收入比去年增長了 27%,這主要是由於市場的擴張以及 Lil Nas X 的《Old Town Road》等歌曲的貢獻,該歌曲預計將成為今年最熱門的歌曲之一。

  • Operating income increased JPY 6.2 billion year-on-year to JPY 38.3 billion.

    營業收入同比增加62億日元至383億日元。

  • We have made no changes to our April forecast for sales and operating income full year.

    我們沒有改變 4 月份全年銷售和營業收入的預測。

  • Next, about Pictures segment.

    接下來,關於圖片部分。

  • The first quarter sales increased 6% from last year to JPY 186.1 billion.

    第一季度銷售額較去年同期增長 6%,達到 1,861 億日元。

  • An operating profit of JPY 0.4 billion was recorded compared to a loss of JPY 7.6 billion in the same quarter of the previous year.

    營業利潤為 4 億日元,而去年同期為虧損 76 億日元。

  • Primarily due to the timing of motion picture releases, this segment has recorded a loss in the first quarter repeatedly in the past, but this quarter, it recorded profit for the first time in 5 years.

    主要由於電影上映時間的原因,該部門過去曾多次在第一季度錄得虧損,但本季度卻錄得5年來首次盈利。

  • Although marketing expenses were incurred for Spider-Man: Far From Home, which was released at the end of June, our profitability continues to improve due to our channel portfolio review in Media Networks and other efforts.

    儘管6月底上映的《蜘蛛俠:英雄遠征》產生了營銷費用,但由於我們在媒體網絡的渠道組合審查和其他努力,我們的盈利能力持續改善。

  • We have made no change to our April forecast for sales and operating income.

    我們沒有改變四月份的銷售和營業收入預測。

  • Spider-Man: Far From Home has exceeded USD 1 billion of revenue at the global box office, surpassing Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle to become Sony Pictures Entertainment's highest-grossing, wholly-owned film of all time.

    《蜘蛛俠:英雄遠征》全球票房收入突破 10 億美元,超越勇敢者遊戲:決戰叢林,成為索尼影視娛樂公司有史以來票房最高的全資電影。

  • Due to the timing of its release, the film will not contribute significantly to our financial results until the second quarter and beyond.

    由於上映時間的原因,這部電影要到第二季度及以後才會對我們的財務業績產生重大貢獻。

  • Next is EP&S segment.

    接下來是 EP&S 部分。

  • From this quarter, this segment includes what were the Home Entertainment & Sound, Imaging Products & Solutions and Mobile Communications segments.

    從本季度開始,該細分市場包括家庭娛樂和音響、成像產品和解決方案以及移動通信細分市場。

  • But we continue to disclose the same product category sales that we disclosed in the past in our supplemental information.

    但我們繼續披露我們過去在補充信息中披露的相同產品類別的銷售情況。

  • Primarily due to a decrease in unit sales of TVs and smartphones, sales decreased 15% to JPY 483.9 billion compared to the previous year, and operating income decreased JPY 7.6 billion year-on-year to JPY 25.1 billion due to the decrease in sales and the negative impact of foreign exchange rates partially offset by a reduction in the operating expenses in Mobile Communications.

    主要由於電視和智能手機銷量下降,銷售額比上年下降15%至4,839億日元,營業收入同比下降76億日元至251億日元。移動通信業務運營費用的減少部分抵消了匯率的負面影響。

  • Due to a reduction in the unit sales forecast for TVs and smartphones, our sales forecast has been changed to JPY 2.160 trillion, but we have made no changes to our April forecast for operating income despite the decrease in sales due to a reduction in operating expenses.

    由於電視和智能手機的銷量預測下調,我們的銷售預測已更改為 2.160 萬億日元,但儘管營業費用減少導致銷售額下降,但我們對 4 月份營業收入的預測沒有變化。

  • Next, I will touch on the TV business.

    接下來我要談談電視業務。

  • Primarily due to the intensified price competition and lower demand compared to the prior year when we benefited from the World Cup mainly in Europe and Latin America, TV unit sales in the current quarter decreased about 23% year-on-year.

    主要是由於價格競爭加劇,以及與去年受益世界杯(主要在歐洲和拉丁美洲)相比需求下降,本季度電視機銷量同比下降約23%。

  • Thanks to the actions we have taken such as launch of new products and price reductions, sales have recovered since June, but we continue to pay close attention to changes in the market for panels and trends of competitor pricing.

    由於我們採取了新產品推出和降價等措施,自6月份以來銷量有所回升,但我們仍繼續密切關注面板市場的變化以及競爭對手的定價趨勢。

  • And here, I'm showing the new key products we have announced or put on sales -- put on sale recently.

    在這裡,我將展示我們已經宣布或開始銷售的新關鍵產品——最近開始銷售。

  • All of them have received positive feedback from a lot of our customers.

    所有這些都得到了我們許多客戶的積極反饋。

  • Next is the Imaging & Sensing Solutions segment.

    接下來是成像和傳感解決方案部分。

  • The first quarter sales increased 14% year-on-year to JPY 230.7 billion, and operating income increased JPY 20.4 billion to JPY 49.5 billion mainly due to a significant increase in image sensors sales for mobile devices.

    第一季度銷售額同比增長14%至2307億日元,營業收入增長204億日元至495億日元,主要是由於移動設備圖像傳感器銷售額大幅增長。

  • Demand for our image sensors continues to be strong, and our market share of image sensors for midrange and high-end models of major smartphone makers remained high due to adoption of multiple sensors per camera and growing demand for high value-added sensors made using large die-sizes.

    對我們的圖像傳感器的需求持續強勁,由於每個攝像頭採用多個傳感器以及對使用大尺寸製造的高附加值傳感器的需求不斷增長,我們在主要智能手機製造商的中端和高端型號的圖像傳感器的市場份額仍然很高。芯片尺寸。

  • And we are currently utilizing 100% of our internal capacity.

    目前我們的內部產能利用率為 100%。

  • However, concerns about the impact of trade issues in the second half of the fiscal year remain.

    然而,對本財年下半年貿易問題影響的擔憂依然存在。

  • We have already been conservative when forecasting the impact of these issues.

    我們在預測這些問題的影響時已經很保守了。

  • But because we want to evaluate the risk over the course of the first half of the fiscal year, we have as yet made no changes to our April forecast.

    但由於我們想要評估本財年上半年的風險,因此我們尚未對 4 月份的預測做出任何改變。

  • Now I would like to explain the background and reasoning behind the change in name of the segment.

    現在我想解釋一下板塊名稱變更的背景和原因。

  • The portion of Semiconductors segment revenue that comes from image sensors has been increasing every year and is expected to be approximately 85% of the segment this fiscal year and is expected to increase even more going forward.

    半導體部門收入中來自圖像傳感器的部分每年都在增加,預計本財年將佔該部門的 85% 左右,並且預計未來還會增加更多。

  • Image sensors are hybrids between analog and digital semiconductors and, in terms of technology and business model, differ from logic-LSI and memory, which most people think of what they hear the word semiconductors.

    圖像傳感器是模擬和數字半導體的混合體,在技術和商業模式方面與邏輯LSI和存儲器不同,大多數人聽到半導體這個詞時都會想到它們。

  • Compared with logic-LSI and memory, which require frequent capacity upgrades to maintain competitiveness due to quickly evolving process miniaturization, image sensors do not require regular large capital investments because products can be differentiated through improvements in functionality and the addition of new features without having to upgrade production capacity.

    與由於快速發展的工藝小型化而需要頻繁升級容量以保持競爭力的邏輯LSI和存儲器相比,圖像傳感器不需要定期進行大量資本投資,因為產品可以通過功能改進和添加新功能來實現差異化,而無需提升產能。

  • Moreover, since the image sensors business is focused on custom products that are differentiated through features and functionality and because we have expanded our customer base the last several years and obtained a large share of market, we have established a business model that experiences less impact from fluctuations in the market known as a silicon cycle.

    此外,由於圖像傳感器業務專注於通過特性和功能實現差異化的定制產品,並且由於我們在過去幾年擴大了客戶群並獲得了很大的市場份額,因此我們建立了一種業務模式,該模式受到的影響較小市場的波動稱為矽週期。

  • Over the last 10 years, we have achieved an extremely high level of compound annual sales growth at 17%, primarily from smartphone applications, and we have made significant investments to increase capacity as a result.

    在過去 10 年裡,我們實現了 17% 的極高水平復合年銷售增長率,主要來自智能手機應用程序,因此我們進行了大量投資來提高產能。

  • However, we expect the investment requirements of this business to decrease significantly as the acute increase in demand transitions to a milder growth trajectory.

    然而,我們預計,隨著需求的急劇增長轉向溫和的增長軌跡,該業務的投資需求將大幅下降。

  • The strategy for future growth in the I&SS segment is to develop AI sensors which make our sensors more intelligent by combining artificial intelligence with the sensors themselves.

    I&SS領域未來增長的策略是開發人工智能傳感器,通過將人工智能與傳感器本身相結合,使我們的傳感器更加智能。

  • Developments of these sensors will require us to leverage not only the strength of the hardware technology in the I&SS segment such as stacking of sensors on logic and copper-to-copper connections but also the AI technology and diverse application technology in other parts of Sony.

    這些傳感器的開發不僅需要我們利用 I&SS 領域的硬件技術優勢(例如邏輯堆疊傳感器和銅對銅連接),還需要利用索尼其他部門的人工智能技術和多樣化應用技術。

  • So our efforts in this area would span the entire Sony Group.

    因此,我們在這一領域的努力將涵蓋整個索尼集團。

  • We think that AI and sensing will be used across a wide range of applications such as autonomous driving, IoT, games and immersive entertainment.

    我們認為人工智能和傳感將廣泛應用於自動駕駛、物聯網、遊戲和沈浸式娛樂等領域。

  • As such, we think there is a possibility that image sensors will evolve from the hardware they are today to solutions and platforms as visual data and sensing information is processed in a sophisticated manner inside sensors.

    因此,我們認為圖像傳感器有可能從現在的硬件發展成為解決方案和平台,因為視覺數據和傳感信息在傳感器內部以復雜的方式進行處理。

  • The image sensor business is important because it is one of the pillars of the growth strategy of Sony Group.

    圖像傳感器業務很重要,因為它是索尼集團增長戰略的支柱之一。

  • We changed the name of the segment this time to assist your understanding of the characteristics and future strategy of this business which I just explained.

    我們這次更改了這個板塊的名稱,是為了幫助大家了解我剛才介紹的這個業務的特點和未來的戰略。

  • Next, I would like to explain about the Financial Services segment.

    接下來我想解釋一下金融服務板塊。

  • In the first quarter, Financial Service revenue was essentially flat year-on-year at JPY 336.9 billion, and operating income increased JPY 5.5 billion year-on-year to JPY 46.1 billion.

    第一季度,金融服務收入同比基本持平,為3369億日元,營業收入同比增加55億日元至461億日元。

  • We have made no changes to our April forecast for our Financial Services revenue and operating income.

    我們沒有改變 4 月份金融服務收入和營業收入的預測。

  • Next, I will discuss the new structure of the Board of Directors at Sony Financial Holdings, SFH.

    接下來,我將討論索尼金融控股公司(SFH)的新董事會結構。

  • The new Board of Directors, which was formed at the Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders this past June, is primarily comprised of external directors and members of management from Sony Corporation.

    新董事會於今年六月的普通股東大會上成立,主要由索尼公司的外部董事和管理層成員組成。

  • Sony believes that this new structure will strengthen the governance of SFH and promote even greater focus on increasing shareholder value.

    索尼相信,這一新結構將加強 SFH 的治理,並促進更加註重增加股東價值。

  • The presidents of Sony Life, Sony Assurance and Sony Bank, who each concurrently served on the Board of Directors of SFH in the past, would dedicate themselves to managing each of their business going forward and will concentrate on growing their businesses and strengthening their competitiveness.

    索尼人壽、索尼保險和索尼銀行的總裁曾同時擔任上法控股的董事會成員,未來他們將致力於管理各自的業務,並集中精力發展業務並增強競爭力。

  • Sony will deepen its collaboration with the management team of SFH and proactively worked to increase the value of our financial services business even more so than in the past.

    索尼將深化與SFH管理團隊的合作,並積極致力於比過去更加提高我們的金融服務業務的價值。

  • In conclusion, I'd like to explain the efforts we're making to increase corporate value.

    最後,我想解釋一下我們為提高企業價值所做的努力。

  • In our first midrange plan, which began in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013, we restructured our businesses and strengthened our profitability and cash generation.

    在我們於截至 2013 年 3 月 31 日的財政年度開始的第一個中期計劃中,我們重組了業務並增強了盈利能力和現金生成能力。

  • This resulted in cash -- in each of our business attaining high level of competitiveness and a steady level of profit and cash flow.

    這為我們的每項業務帶來了現金,從而獲得了高水平的競爭力以及穩定的利潤和現金流水平。

  • As President Yoshida explained at the Corporate Strategy Meeting in May, Sony now needs to take steps to grow its various businesses while creating synergy across our businesses.

    正如吉田社長在五月份的企業戰略會議上所解釋的那樣,索尼現在需要採取措施發展各種業務,同時在我們的業務之間創造協同效應。

  • Sony will aim to do this by leveraging the diversity in each of our business in the entertainment, electronics and DTC services, which includes financial services arenas.

    索尼的目標是通過利用娛樂、電子和 DTC 服務(包括金融服務領域)各項業務的多樣性來實現這一目標。

  • Technology is what supports the growth of these businesses and create synergy across businesses.

    技術是支持這些業務增長並在業務之間創造協同效應的動力。

  • This is what makes Sony unique and strong.

    這就是索尼獨特而強大的原因。

  • We aim to increase our corporate value in a sustained manner over the long term by further growing Sony as a creative entertainment company with a solid foundation in technology.

    我們的目標是通過進一步將索尼發展成為一家擁有堅實技術基礎的創意娛樂公司,長期持續地提高我們的企業價值。

  • Lastly, I would again show the results forecast for each of our segments.

    最後,我將再次展示我們每個細分市場的結果預測。

    至於影視板塊,有沒有上升的潛力,從風險和機會來看,我們認為機會比較大,但是我們才過了第一季度。

  • And if -- when we have a release of major tentpole titles going forward, and just the first quarter is ended, so rather than changing the sales forecast, we think we should maintain that now.

    如果——當我們發布主要的主打遊戲時,並且第一季度剛剛結束,那麼我們認為我們現在應該維持這一預測,而不是改變銷售預測。
