Chief executive Ed Coleman, who joined the company last October, said that the firm is taking aggressive actions to simplify its business structure, concentrate and focus its global resources, and enhance profitability and competitiveness.
"We are moving quickly on actions to turn around the business, return this company to profitability, and generate cash," he said.
The company is planning to cut about 1,300 jobs and suspend matching contributions to its pension plan.
For the full year of 2008, the company reported a net loss of $130.1m (£89.5m) compared to a loss of $79.1m (£54.4m) in 2007.
