The compulsory and basic expenses of this type of company are COGS and SG&A. They can't be avoided. In addition this company also has R&D. When you subtract those items from Total Revenue you get EBITDA. In TROX's case, after those deductions, there's only about $150 mil. left over from its LTM Total Revenue of $2949 mil., which is only about 5% left at its EBITDA level. But TROX has an Interest Expense (due to its LTD) of ~$200 mil., so there is NO Revenue left after that deduction. No wonder its share price has been nose diving for over a year. Seems to me that this company has a long way to go before, IMO, becoming a Viable and Profitable business.
