Electronics-maker Sharp Corp.'s recovery seemed on the blink Friday as it posted a ¥25.1 billion operating loss and ¥83.6 billion net loss for the first half of fiscal 2015. The news came days after Sharp sharply reduced its expectations for the period ahead.

The Osaka-based firm reported ¥1.27 trillion in sales, down from ¥1.32 trillion for the same period last year.

Its net loss expanded to ¥83.6 billion, ¥35.3 billion of which comprised restructuring costs.
