"The results for the first two months of the first quarter were strong, but in March we faced a significant reduction in advertising revenue. We intend to focus on improving efficiency, while continuing to invest in long-term opportunities," the company said in a press release.
The firm believes that, given the continuing uncertainty, it is too early to talk about normalization of the situation in the economy.

Following the presentation of the report, during a teleconference, Alphabet Financial Director Ruth Porat said that the company will slightly reduce its investments in 2020, as well as slow down the rate of hiring new employees. At the same time, she will continue to implement the share buyback program in accordance with the plans announced earlier.
