Revenue fell 5 percent in March. The difference from 393 to 217 includes the preceding 11 months.

It certainly is not 5%. 10% of 393 is 39.3. 5% would be 19.65. 373.35 wold be a 5% drop from 393.

I noticed the same thing. Either they are horrible at math, or they were mixing up two different statistics: the drop from last month to this month in the current year, and the difference between the current month and the same month last year.
