Yahoo’s latest earnings report leaves no doubt the internet company is stuck in a downward spiral.

The company managed to beat Wall Street’s limited expectations for revenue in the April June quarter. But after subtracting commissions paid to its partners, Yahoo said its revenue fell 19 percent from a year earlier, while its loss widened to $440 million.

Yahoo also reported Monday that it’s writing down $482 million in charges related to the declining value of Tumblr, the social-blogging service that Yahoo acquired for $1.1 billion in 2013. Combined with an earlier write-down of $230 million, that indicates Tumblr’s value has plunged by almost two-thirds.

What remains unclear is whether Yahoo will abort its long-running turnaround attempts and sell its operations in a move that would likely end the four-year reign of CEO Marissa Mayer.
