In addition, Re/Code reports that Yahoo expects its number of employees to fall from 12,500 in 2014 and 10,500 in 2015 to around 9,000.
Last month, one of Yahoo's investors, Starboard Value LP, nominated nine directors to overhaul its board.
In a letter to shareholders, the hedge fund said the current board had “failed to deliver results” and significant board changes were needed to “hold management accountable”.
Also in March, eMarketer forecast Yahoo's worldwide net digital ad revenues to fall 13.9 per cent to $2.83bn this year. This compared with a nine per cent growth forecast for Google and 31 per cent for Facebook.
