I am as far away from an analyst as one can be, but looking at this - Seems they are losing money like crazy. Around 200 million loss from continuing operations last year.

I am trying to square this "...I am pleased to report that Cenveo's operations continue to perform according to our expectations.." statement with why anyone would use the word "pleased" in this press release...

Can someone help explain why things look horrible, but yet this September 22nd preess release seems like a 'good news!" messaging ?

I am at a loss here ( pun intended )

Michael, well, as to the positive statements Mr. Burton (Cenveo's CEO) made, there is "power" in "positive thinking." So maybe that's what that's all about. Evidently, Cenveo has a negative network (liabilities exceed assets), so one certainly wonders what's rosy in Cenveo's picture. One rosy thing for the CEO; apparently, he received around $6 million in compensation for the last fiscal year. I'd call that rosy, for sure.
