The company posted a Q4 net loss available to common stockholders of $159 million, or $0.24 per share, compared with a prior-year profit of $250 million, or $0.39 per share. The latest quarter included charges that were the result of the company's strategic decision to reduce leverage and balance-sheet complexity.
