\u201cJumanji: Open World\u201d<\/a> (Dec. 25). The company provided guidance for Sony Pictures Entertainment\u2019s FY26 revenue increasing 9% (to JPY1.630 trillion), driven by higher expected box-office revenue and paid subscriber growth at Crunchyroll, offset by lower series deliveries in TV productions and lower licensing revenue from its movie catalog. Operating income for the segment is projected to hit JPY145 billion, up 38% (largely due to the comparison with the Pixomondo charges in FY25). <\/p>\n\n\tIn the March 2026 quarter, SPE revenue was up 14%, to JPY472.9 billion. A bright spot was Sony Pictures Animation\u2019s \u201cGOAT,\u201d an action-comedy from producer Stephen Curry about a small goat named Will who gets a chance to compete in pro \u201croarball.\u201d The kid-friendly movie banked $192 million at the global box office (and $103 million domestically) following its Feb. 13 wide release.<\/p>\n
\n\tOverall, in the most recent quarter, Sony Group reported sales of\u00a0JPY3.036 trillion (up 8%) and net income of JPY83.1 billion (down 63%), including the impact of the Pixomondo-related charges. For full FY25, Sony Group revenue was up 4%, to JPY12.48 trillion, and net income was down 3%, to JPY1.03 trillion.<\/p>\n
\n\tFor the first three months of 2026, Sony\u2019s music segment had revenue of JPY570.0 billion (+21%) and operating income of JPY132.4 billion (+58%). For fiscal year 2025, sales increased 15% to JPY2.12 trillion, led by higher revenue from streaming services in recorded music and music publishing. Operating income in the Sony music segment was up 25% to a record high JPY447 billion.<\/p>\n
\n\tIn Sony\u2019s PlayStation segment, FY25 revenue was flat at JPY4.685 trillion, as increases in sales from network services and third-party game software titles were offset by a decrease in hardware sales. The company reported 16.0 million PlayStation 5 console units sold, down from 18.5 million in FY24. Adjusted operating income for the 12-month period was up 45% to a record JPY602 million, excluding a JPY120 billion impairment charge for gaming studio Bungie and JPY18.3 billion in expenses resulting from a \u201ccorrection in the amount of certain previously capitalized development costs,\u201d the company said.<\/p>\n
\n\tPlayStation monthly active users in March 2026 increased 1% year over year to around 125 million accounts, a record high for fiscal Q4, and total play time in the quarter also rose 1% year-on-year.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
