- Long-livedassets include PP&E and intangible assets.
- Adjusted to reflect the impact of the change in the accounting method for leases that became effective on April 1, 2019.
- Operating Income after tax. Tax rates applied to all segments are 34% for FY17 and 32% for FY18 and FY19.
- The total oflong-lived assets, goodwill, investment and inventory have been used for G&NS, EP&S and I&SS. The total of equity and net debt have been used for Music and Pictures (deposits in group companies are excluded from debt). The amount of inventory of G&NS, EP&S and I&SS and the invested capital of Music and Pictures have been calculated by averaging the amount of each at five points in time - the beginning of the fiscal year and the end of each four quarters. The amount of long-lived assets, goodwill and investment of G&NS, EP&S and I&SS have been calculated by averaging the amount at the beginning and the end of the fiscal year.
- The calculation of Investing CF for each segment differs from the calculation of the Statement of Cash Flows for Sony without Financial Services in the Financial Statement as follows:
- Increases and decreases infixed-term deposits held by each segment are excluded from Investing CF, and
- Expenditures for capital leases are included in Investing CF (instead of Financial CF).
These result in the following amount being adjusted in each of the Investing CF figures shown above:
G&NS: -0.5 bln yen, Music: 1.4 bln yen, Pictures: -2.4 bln yen, HE&S/IP&S/MC Total: -8 bln yen, I&SS: -0.4 bln yen, All Other and Corporate and elimination: -0.6 bln yen
"Adjustment" is the total offset to the above adjustments made to the Investing CF for each segment (10.7 bln yen).

- Individual channels may have more than one feed; total channel feeds were 157 as of September 30, 2019.
- Launch year represents the year the first iteration of the channel was launched in its first territory or acquired by Sony.
- Subscriber numbers are SPE estimates; SPE does not disclose the number of subscribers for SVOD services.
- India Channels comprise the following: SET, MAX, SAB, PIX, ATHH, MIX, SIX, AXN, PAL, MAX 2, SONY ESPN, WAH, Sony BBC Earth, Sony YAY!, Marathi, and the TEN Sports Channels. The first of the India Channels was launched in 1995 with the others launched at various times thereafter. International subscribers (subscribers from outside of India) account for 1.7 million and 2.0 million of the totals noted for September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
- In connection with the establishment of the Crackle Plus joint venture, SPE received, among other things, 37,000 units of preferred equity and 1,000 units of common equity of Crackle Plus, and a future right to convert the preferred equity into common equity of Crackle Plus. If converted, SPE would have a 49% ownership interest in Crackle Plus on a fully diluted basis.
- The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India ("TRAI") instituted a new tariff regime, effective February 1st, 2019, whereby Indian consumers would be able to subscribe to channels on ana-la-carte basis rather than as bundles. Due to the migration to the new tariff regime, the pay subscriber base is estimated to have declined from 156M to 115M. Additionally, subscribers have opted to subscribe to fewer channels. As a result, the estimated number of subscribers to the Indian channels has declined significantly.
