Japanese electronics giant Sony forecasts it will remain unprofitable until 2015.

日本电子巨头索尼预计直到2015年都将保持非盈利状态。
 
The company said it expects a net loss of 50bn yen1 ($489m) this coming financial year.
 
It also swung to a loss of 125bn yen for the 12 months to March 2014.
 
The results put pressure on chief executive Kazuo Hirai, who pledged two years ago to return its underperforming electronics business to profit.
 
The firm has been struggling to turn around its television unit, which has been losing money due to stiff competition from Asian rivals such as Samsung Electronics.
 
Three profit warnings were issued in the past year, and Sony executives are set to forfeit2 their bonuses due to the weak results.
 
PC exit
 
Sony's fall from grace stems from slumping3 demand for its flagship products of televisions and computers.
 
As part of its restructuring, the firm exited the PC business by selling off its Vaio brand to Japan Industrial Partners earlier this year. 
 
The company also announced 5,000 job cuts and has sold off other assets such as its US headquarters and its stake in Japanese satellite broadcaster Sky Perfect JSAT Holdings.
 
Sony chief financial officer Kenichiro Yoshida told an earnings4 briefing that it made sense to bow out of some businesses.
 
"In previous years the restructuring was mostly within business units and in manufacturing," he said. "This time the difference is that we are quitting businesses entirely5."
 
Mr Hirai has also spun6 off Sony's TV manufacturing business into a separate unit, focusing its production on large-screen models.
 
Sony's TV unit has lost more than 700bn yen over the past decade, according to Bloomberg.
