利润成本分析的英语对话

  P: We beat our profit forecast for the quarter, so we’ve got to be pleased.

利润成本分析的英语对话

  C: I agreed, although there are some areas of concern.

  P: Yes, but we always thought it would be a tough quarter. $2 million profit on $59 million of revenue is a good performance.

  C: That’s true. We’re all delighted that profits went up. But revenues fell for the second quarter in a row-that is what worries me.

  P: But we always predicted that, which was why we reduced costs by as much as we did.

  C: Yes, I see that operating costs fell from $53 million in Q3 to $46 in Q4.

  P: We made the mist of saving by switching to cheaper suppliers.

  C: So what accounted for the rest of the costs?

  P: One-off charges, either relating to redundancy payments or strategic acquisitions.

  C: And what about the profit breakdown by geographic region?

  P: Asia made $1.5 million profit: the Americas mad $ 1 million in profit; and we lost $500,000 in Europe.

  C: Europe is still dragging us back then.

  P: Yes, but we still improved on a loss of $ 700,000 in Q3.

  C: And what about our European revenues?

  P: They remained flat.

  C: Well if we can keep costs low we might manage to break even in Europe in the next quarter.

  P: Probably. We expect to see profitability in Europe in the next three to six months.

  C: Is there any more scope for cost-cutting next years?

  P: We expect to make some saving on shipping cost, but nothing major.

  C: That’s fair enough, it’s not as if we need to do anything drastic.

  公司初级英语会话9:产品销售报告

  CP: So how have you broken the information down?

  PM: Each individual product is listed twice-once in its product category and once alphabetically.

  CP: I see. And how does the colour coding work?

  PM: Red means that we have a stock overhang for that product.

  CP: And blue presumably means that that product has sold well.

  PM: Actually, blue means that we sold out of it at some profit.

  CP: Right. And if it’s just in black?

  PM: So how many product lines have suffered fro an overhang?

  PM:94, which makes up about 8% of our product range.

  CP: that’s clearly too high; really we should be looking to have that figure.

  PM: The question is whether we discontinue all of the poor seller or just try to remarket them.

  CP: Well since we still have a lot of stock sitting in the warehouse we should try to remarketing them really.

  PM: At the other end of the scale, we sold out of 114 product lines.

  CP: Then we need to look at how quickly each one of those products sold out and up our repeat orders for them.

  PM: OK. There’s also a section at the end of the report about how our promotional offers went.

  CP: Yes, how did they go?

  PM: Well of the five major promotions we’ve done so far, four went really well according to the sales figures.

  CP: But the fifth one didn’t sell even with the promotional offer?

  PM: No, I think we’d better cut our losses with that one and discontinue it.
