Sony has adjusted its sales and operating revenues expectations for its fiscal year from April 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015 to JPY8.2 trillion (US$68.62 billion) from a previous projected amount of JPY8 trillion, according to the company.

The forecast for consolidated results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2015, as announced on February 4, 2015, was based on assumed foreign currency exchange rates for the fourth quarter (from January 1, 2015 to March 31, 2015) of approximately JPY118 to US$1 and approximately JPY133 to EUR1. The average rates for the fourth quarter were JPY119.1 to US$1 and JPY134.4 to EUR1.

The forecast for consolidated sales has been revised upward primarily due to an anticipated increase in financial services revenue as well as an increase in sales in the Music, Imaging Products & Solutions, and Game & Network Services (G&NS) segments when compared to the February forecast, said Sony.
