Margins

Adjusted operating expenses as provided by the company in the second quarter of fiscal 2021 were $66.4 million, down 11.7% from $75.2 million in the year-ago quarter. The reduction in operating expenses resulted from productivity savings and cost-containment actions taken to offset the negative effects related to COVID-19 which were partially offset by continued investments.
