Restructuring
RESTRUCTURING
In accordance with the applicable guidance for Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits, we accounted for termination benefits and recognized liabilities when the loss was considered probable that employees were entitled to benefits and the amounts could be reasonably estimated.
We have incurred costs associated with involuntary termination benefits associated with corporate-related initiatives, including our transition to a standalone entity and cost-saving opportunities associated with our Fit For Growth and Axalta Way initiatives. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 we incurred restructuring costs of $0.5 million and $2.2 million, respectively. These amounts are recorded within selling, general and administrative expenses in the interim unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. The payments associated with these actions are expected to be completed within 12 to 15 months from March 31, 2016.
The following table summarizes the activities related to the restructuring reserves, recorded within other accrued liabilities, and expenses from December 31, 2015 to March 31, 2016:
