????財富500強排名: 330

????OfficeMax近些年來似乎流年不利。從2006年到2010年，銷售額下降超過10億美元。到了2011年，盡管分析人士早已預見到公司的業(yè)績將進一步下滑，但它公布的數(shù)據(jù)還是讓人大失所望。4月份，高盛指出利潤率“遠低于目標”，并于今秋根據(jù)第三季度業(yè)績給出了負面的前景展望。

????OfficeMax仍然希望能扭轉頹勢，但如今經濟不景氣，公司又處于一個競爭激烈的行業(yè)，形勢并不有利。今夏，OfficeMax告訴分析人士，預期中重返經營利潤率高峰的目標可能不得不延后了。11月份這家零售商向投資者呈現(xiàn)的新路線圖顯示，公司將不得不花費更長的時間來強化基礎，扭轉業(yè)績下滑局面，這個過程可能至少會持續(xù)至2013年。

????These are lean times for OfficeMax. Between 2006 and 2010, sales fell more than $1 billion. Then in 2011, the company disappointed analysts who'd already braced themselves for further drops. In April, Goldman Sachs noted margins fell "well short," and projected a negative outlook based on third-quarter results this fall.

????The company still hopes to turn things around, but operating in a competitive sector in a bad economy does not help. OfficeMax told analysts this summer that its hoped-for return to peak operating margins has to be slowed down. Under a new roadmap presented to investors this November, the retailer said it has to take longer to strengthen its foundation and reverse declines at least into 2013.
