Yahoo to cut 600 to 700 jobs

SUNNYVALE, Calif. (AP) - April 21, 2009 In releasing results Tuesday, the Sunnyvale-based Internet company says it will cut 600 to 700 jobs, or about 5 percent of its work force, to shore up profits.

Yahoo says it earned $118 million, or 8 cents per share, during the first three months of the year. That represents a 78 percent drop from net income of $537 million, or 37 cents per share, in the year-ago period.

Last year's results included a non-cash gain of $401 million. But Yahoo's profit this year still would have been lower even after subtracting last year's one-time boost.

Revenue fell 13 percent to $1.58 billion.
