TOKYO -- Toshiba posted a 104.4 billion yen ($953 million) operating profit in the fiscal year ended March, down 20% from the previous year as the COVID-19 pandemic hit the Japanese industrial conglomerate's bottom line, the company said Friday.

Toshiba's operating profit recovered in the January to March quarter, reversing a loss in the April to June quarter last year.
