Group operating profit plunged 86.0 percent to 3.35 billion yen on sales of 784.00 billion yen, down 22.1 percent, due to weak personal consumption and decreased corporate capital investment, Sanyo said.
The Osaka-based company said it will skip a dividend payment for the six-month period, as it did a year earlier.
For the whole of fiscal 2009 ending next March, Sanyo is projecting a group net loss of 30 billion yen, compared with a net loss of 93 billion yen in the previous year, and a group operating profit of 25 billion yen, up 202.1 percent, on estimated sales of 1.66 trillion yen, down 6.2 percent.
