How to approach this case
A profitability case is won by locating the problem before trying to explain it. Split revenue from costs, then break each side down until you find the line that moved, asking for data by segment, product or period rather than on average. Once the cause is isolated, check whether it comes from the company or from the whole market, because the levers are not the same. The revenue minus costs grid gives you the order of the investigation, it never tells you what to recommend: your reasoning about the client's business does.
This case involves calculations: talk through your arithmetic out loud, round when it is reasonable and state the order of magnitude you expect before the exact result. It also includes a chart or table to read: first say what the axes show, then give the main message in one sentence before going into detail.
