Sony cashes in on music revival with £2 billion swoop on EMI

Sony on Tuesday swooped to take control of EMI Music Publishing in a £1.7 billion deal which will give it rights to more than two million songs, from The Beatles to “Over the Rainbow” and Pharrell Williams’ hits. Sony’s move comes as music streaming is sparking a “resurgence” in the music business and an increase in the value of back catalogues from artists. The deal will make Sony the largest music publisher in the world as the Japanese entertainment and electronics giant raises its stake in EMI from 30% to 90% by buying the holding of the UAE’s Mubadala Investment Company, its partner in EMI for the past six years.

Sony Corp said on Tuesday it would pay about $2.3 billion to gain control of EMI, becoming the world's largest music publisher in an industry that has found new life on the back of streaming services. The acquisition is the biggest strategic move yet by new CEO Kenichiro Yoshida and gives Sony a catalogue of more than 2 million songs from artists such as Kanye West, Sam Smith and Sia. The deal is part of Yoshida's mission to make revenue streams more stable with rights to entertainment content - a strategy that follows a major revamp by his predecessor which shifted Sony's focus away from low-margin consumer electronics.

The purchase price is listed at $2.3bn (£1.7bn) but it is also assuming $1.4bn of debt, which gives EMI MP an “enterprise value” of $4.75bn including the 30 per cent Sony already owns and the 10 per cent retained by the Jackson family estate. The inflation in its value is a mark of spectacular revival of the music business that has been driven by subscription based streaming services such as Spotify and Apple Music. Sony bought in alongside a consortium led by Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company in that transaction.

Sony's New CEO Sets Low Bar With Conservative Mid-Term Targets
