Sony Ericsson Needs At Least 100M Euros To Survive

We all know that Sony Ericsson is experiencing difficult times. Leaving the number four spot to Motorola, falling handsets, high return rates and high losses. Sony CFO Nobuyuki Oneda spoke with Japanese daily The Nikkei and confirmed the problems. He indicated the current situation is a combination of falling demands and a weak product portfolio.

According to Oneda SE needs more cash in some way, either through bank loans or direct capital injections before the fiscal year ends in March of 2010. How the money will be raised will be decided by Sony and Ericsson, a Sony spokeswoman said.

This news comes after a 293 million euros net loss for the first quarter and sales falling 36 percent year-over-year. 2000 jobs were cut, which is one-fifth of the total workforce.
