PC maker Lenovo plans to reduce costs even further and will book another big restructuring charge. Cost cutting will include layoffs and other measures, according to Lenovo.
HONG KONG, Nov 7 (Reuters) - Lenovo (0992.HK) expects to book another $75 million to $100 million restructuring charge "going forward", its top executives said on Friday, as the world's fourth-largest PC maker struggles to reduce costs in a difficult market.
Executives on a conference call did not put a timeframe on that expense, but stressed that the figures included a $24 million restructuring cost booked in the fiscal second quarter.
