    NEW YORK (CNN/Money) - Corning Inc. said Monday it expects to report a wider fourth-quarter loss than it previously predicted after taking a pre-tax operating charge.

    Corning (GLW: Research, Estimates),  the world's largest maker of fiber-optic cable, said it will take a pre-tax charge of about $178 million, or 12 cents per share, related to release of restrictions on employee-held stock, an inventory write-off and an investment write-off.

    As a result, the company said it expects to lose 28 or 29 cents per share before certain items, compared to its previous guidance of a loss of 20 to 25 cents per share.

    Corning restated its plan to take a $600 million, or 38 cents per share, restructuring charge which is not included in its loss projections.

    The company plans to report its fourth-quarter earnings on Jan. 23.

    Shares of Corning fell 27 cents to $9.81 on the New York Stock Exchange. graphic
