While the revenue decline exceeded the cut in cost by 18%, it doesn’t paint the whole picture . 2019 revenue yielded record profits. The margin to break even is not 18%, it lower. Is management looking to break even, make a profit, or slow the bleeding enough to get to a recovery? So far I think we know the answer.
They're just trying to slow the bleeding right now. And things are worse now than when that earnings report was released.
