Warner Music Group announced further losses yesterday which will lead to the loss of over 400 employees in the company.
Poor music sales have been cited as the reason for the second-quarter net loss of $27 million or 19 cent per share experienced by the company, which is the forth largest music company in the world. The company is now looking at increasing its focus on the sale of digital music and video in an attempt to turn around falling sales.
Major sellers in the second quarter were Madonna, Gerald Levert and The Red Hot Chili Peppers, however sales are down on the same time last year with second-quarter net loss at $7 million or 5 cents a share for the same time last year.
