AOL Time Warner's chief financial officer Michael Kelly expects the company's revenue to grow by between 8% and 10% in the first quarter.
During an analysts' meeting following the release of AOL Time Warner's quarterly earnings, Kelly also said first quarter earnings before interest, taxation, depreciation and amortisation should see a growth of between 18% and 20%.
Talking about charges to be incurred in the quarter, Kelly says AOL Time Warner will take a $50m charge due to layoffs in such branches of the company as magazines and CNN.
However, Kelly adds that a shift in employee compensation toward equities option will save the company about $100m in cash.
He adds that synergies from the merged entity are seen as a possibility for the company to "aggressively manage" its cost structure.
