Revenue fell to $304 million from $488 million the year before. Segment revenue came in at $196 million, with management fees accounting for $129 million.
For the year, the company swung to a loss of $59.8 million, or $2.14 per share, and revenue dropped to $1.24 billion from $1.52 billion in 2006.
