“Regardless of the essential actions we have taken over time to enhance our firm and actual property footprint, our present lease liabilities – which had been over two-thirds of whole working bills within the second quarter – nonetheless stay too excessive and are dramatically out of step with present market circumstances,” Tolley wrote. “We’re taking fast motion to completely repair our rigid and high-cost lease portfolio to realize the sustainable working mannequin that we have to serve our members for a few years to return.”
