Warner Music Group 2Q loss widens on increased expenses
Warner Music Group, whose artists include R.E.M., Green Day, Red Hot Chili Peppers, says higher costs and a shift to digital music led to a wider second-quarter loss, and that it would suspend its dividend in order to build cash reserves and lower debt.
