A Quick Correction: Goldman Sachs/WMG Projection...

We erred on a recent, breaking article related to a lowered earnings forecast on Warner Music Group by Goldman Sachs on Thursday.  The dialed-down estimate is $738 million in revenues (13 percent year-over-year), not EBITDA, as originally noted.  The reduced EBITDA figure is $98 million, down 15 percent year-over-year.

Second-quarter album sales declines were 11 percent, as described in the article.  But the first quarter featured a decline of 7 percent, showing an accelerated downturn.

Thanks Goldman for the clarification.
