plunging sales

Помогите, пожалуйста, перевести

Boeing, too, has slashed costs, but has been forced to do so by plunging sales. The jumbo American firm has cut some 40,000 jobs from its commercial-airliner business, and barely remained profitable as orders dried up and its output fell by half. Airbus, by contrast, merely cancelled plans to ramp up production, and has managed to maintain profit margins at a healthy 7%.

Boeing также сократила издержки, но была вынуждена сделать это из-за (вследствие) падения сбыта.
