"What a lousy investment track record" That certainly was the case when one looks at their last Annual Income Statement, a place where one can often target the end result of a company's problems. It all seems to go wrong below EBITDA ... 30% lost to Depreciation. Another 185+421=$606mil. lost to 'Other Income' and 'Special Charges'. Interest Expense removed 23% of the Revenue left over at that stage, and ... Tax swallowed up $207mil. (66%) of the $316mil. of Pretax Income. So, not surprisingly, all that was left over from a Gross Annual Revenue of $8719mil. was a paltry $109mil.(1.25%). That's a far cry from the previous $1926mil. from $10517mil. the year before. As you say, "Truly amazing the CEO still holds his job"
