Last November, Warnaco announced plans to cut about 7 percent of its corporate staff and reduce its capital spending to counter the weak economy.

The maker of Speedo swimsuits and Calvin Klein jeans posted a fourth-quarter loss from continuing operations of $12.4 million, compared with a profit of $20.4 million a year earlier.

Net revenue at the New York-based company, which is a major vendor to department stores, fell 4 percent to $445.9 million.

For 2009, based on current exchange rates, the company expects the impact of foreign currency exchange to lower net revenue by 7 percent to 9 percent.

As a result, Warnaco sees earnings from continuing operations in the range of $2.40 to $2.66 a share for the period. Analysts expected $2.43, before items, according to Reuters Estimates.
