Note 8: Restructuring Costs

 

During the first six months of 2012, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $232 million for new and ongoing restructuring actions as follows:

 

(Dollars in millions)   
Otis $ 63
UTC Climate, Controls & Security   72
Pratt & Whitney   54
Hamilton Sundstrand   5
Sikorsky   6
Eliminations and other   4
Restructuring costs recorded within continuing operations   204
Restructuring costs recorded within discontinued operations   28
Total $ 232

The net costs included $110 million recorded in cost of sales, $94 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, and $28 million in discontinued operations. As described below, these costs primarily relate to actions initiated during 2012 and 2011.

 

2012 Actions. During the first six months of 2012, we initiated restructuring actions relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of field operations. We recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $187 million, including $88 million in cost of sales, $72 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $27 million in discontinued operations.

 

We expect the actions initiated in the first six months of 2012 to result in net workforce reductions of approximately 2,300 hourly and salaried employees, the exiting of approximately 600,000 net square feet of facilities and the disposal of assets associated with exited facilities. As of June 30, 2012, we have completed net workforce reductions of approximately 1,300 employees and exited approximately 100,000 net square feet. We are targeting the majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions for completion during 2012 and 2013. No specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time.

 

The following table summarizes the accrual balances and utilization by cost type for the 2012 restructuring actions:

2011 Actions. During the first six months of 2012, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $41 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2011, including $19 million in cost of sales, $21 million in selling, general and administrative expenses and $1 million in discontinued operations. The 2011 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of field operations.

 

As of June 30, 2012, we have completed net workforce reductions of approximately 4,000 employees of an expected 5,000 employees, and have exited approximately 100,000 net square feet of facilities of an expected 2 million net square feet. We are targeting the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions for completion during 2012 and 2013.
