This is probably the worst track record amongst most major exporters. That means that either management is not able to anticipate challenges … or they fail on execution almost every time. Either way, it does not reflect well on Sony’s management.”1 - Atul Goyal, Analyst, CLSA2, in January 2009. SONY IN CRISIS, AGAIN In May 2009, Japan-based multinational conglomerate, Sony Corporation (Sony) announced that it posted its first full year operating loss since 1995, and only its second since 1958, for the fiscal year ending March 2009. Sony announced annual loss of ¥ 98.9 billion3, with annual sales going down by 12.9% to ¥ 7.73 trillion. Sony also warned that with consumers worldwide cutting back on spending in light of the recession, the losses could be to the extent of ¥ 120 billion for the year ending March 2010 (Refer to Exhibit IA for Sony‘s five year financial summary and Exhibit IB for operating loss by business segment).

    LG, Samsung and Others: the Battle for the Next Generation of TV Displays1

    Press Release July 29, 2020 LYON, France LG, Samsung and others: the battle for the next generation of 1 TV displays OUTLINES: • Industry status: The TV2 market is at a crossroad with stagnating unit volume sales, commoditization and looming extended excess capacity. 2020 is a transition year for the TV panel industry due to strategic technical choices and competitive battlefield. • LCD3 will hold 98.2% of the TV market in 2020 and remain unchallenged on entry and mid-range segments. • Competitive landscape: LG, Samsung and others readying complex and expensive technology investments to fight the battle for the next generation of TVs. Samsung Display and LG Display’s LCD TV panel business turned unprofitable. There will be no coming back: China will soon own the LCD market, control prices, rapidly close the technology gap and leave no opportunities for differentiation. • COVID-19 outbreak: COVID-19 pandemic impacted the supply chain and demand in the first half of the year. TV sales will decrease by 8.3% in 2020 to 205 million units but growth will resume from 2021 (+7.3%), although still below 2019 levels. “The TV panel market was disrupted by the rise of large players in China that increased capacity regardless of demand.” asserts Eric Virey, Ph.D., Principal Display Technology and Market Analyst, Photonics & Sensing at Yole Développement (Yole). “In 2019, oversupply sent prices to their lowest levels ever, below cash cost for most players. Thanks to subsidies, lower depreciation, more recent and efficient fabs, BOE and CSOT can control price to eliminate competition. Korean and Taiwanese LCD panel makers turned unprofitable and it became clear that China would soon close the technology gap, leaving no opportunity for differentiation, controlling prices and owning the market.
