Quote from their filing today:
“Our task in the second half of 2015 is to sustain the performance improvements we have made in the first half of the year, delivering our targets for the full year we described at our Investor Day in February,” said Mr. Rogerson. “Our cost-out initiatives to achieve $50 million of the full annual $62 million run-rate in total cost reductions in 2015 are now fully implemented. The benefit of higher selling prices for bromine and certain bromine derivative products together with the benefit of lower raw material costs gives us the ability to offset continuing lackluster sales volume and the probable weakening in demand for clear brine fluids as lower oil prices result in a decline in investment in off-shore exploration. The strike at our third-party bromine supplier ended in early June, but as they have publicly stated, their production ramp up will be gradual and it will be several months before our supplies return to pre-strike levels,” Mr. Rogerson concluded. “We remain confident that we are on track to achieve our targets in 2015. We also continue to work diligently on defining the next steps in value-creation for our shareholders,” said Mr. Rogerson.
I love that last statement "We also continue to work diligently on defining the next steps in value-creation for our shareholders"
Really, they did not give a shit about the shareholders before they took the company into BK. We are got screwed while they took care of themselves.
