Revenue was $889 million — around a 13% increase from a year ago and approximately what analysts had been expecting.

For the current quarter, the company gave a wide EPS range from a loss of 10 cents to a gain of 14 cents, while analysts expect an EPS of12 cents.

Shares of the company have taken a clubbing in the past year, losing a horrendous 70% of their worth. The company also says the Olympics will hurt viewership.
