Toshiba (TYO:6502) today said it closed a deal worth nearly $943 million for its Kone Corp. elevator and escalator business, as it looks to recover from a $1.2 billion accounting scandal that’s already claimed it senior management team.
The Japanese conglomerate said the €35.75-per-share deal, valued at €864.7 million, is expected to yield profits of about $102.9 million (¥113 billion).
That will no doubt come in handy as Toshiba looks to right itself after an independent inquiry found that it inflated its profits by $1.2 billion over a period of several years.
