"They have got low debt, they have got everything kind of pared down to the essentials, and what remains now is for them to make it work, for them to make the right decisions to develop the right product.

Заранее спасибо

Опять же словарь выручает (CollinsCobuild (En-En) (к версии ABBYY Lingvo x3)):
pared-down
If you describe something as pared-down, you mean that it has no unnecessary features, and has been reduced to a very simple form.

MT:
pare down
общ. урезывать; сокращать; урезать; сократить; обстругивать
спорт. состругивать

Т.е. у них все (ненужное, лишнее, балласт) убрано, оставлено только все самое основное, базовое, самая суть, только то что собственно работает.
