I believe 10% was a revenue figure. Fixed costs do not change with lost sales. Only savings on lost revenue are the "Cost of Goods" COG. With 50% margins, this means half the lost revenue hits the bottom line.

A bigger hit than the 10% revenue figure quoted. You can bet they are looking to reduce "discretionary spending" to help contain these losses to earnings.

Enjoy the ride, (not)
