Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

On July 31, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reorganization plan in connection with the Company's strategic priority to modernize its supply chain. Under this reorganization plan, herein referred to as the restructuring plan, the Company will consolidate its manufacturing network by closing its Omaha, Nebraska plant, with a phased reduction in production beginning in late 2025 and full closure targeted by the end of 2026, and scaling back production (which includes a reduction in the number of manufacturing platforms) at its Memphis, Tennessee facility, commencing in late 2025. The restructuring plan was communicated to impacted employees on August 6, 2024 and remains subject to the satisfaction of certain collective bargaining obligations. The actions under the restructuring plan are expected to be completed by the end of fiscal year 2026.

These actions are expected to result in cumulative restructuring pretax charges of between $230 and $270 million, including between $30 and $40 million in cash costs for severance and other termination benefits and between $30 and $40 million in other cash restructuring costs related to equipment dismantlement and other transition costs. The Company estimates between $170 and $190 million in non-cash charges related primarily to accelerated depreciation and asset write-offs. These charges are expected to be incurred through 2027. The amounts expected to be incurred as a result of these actions, including the timing thereof, are estimates only and subject to a number of assumptions. Actual results may differ materially from the Company's current expectations. The Company may also incur additional charges or other cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, these actions.

For the quarter and year-to-date period ended September 28, 2024, the Company recorded total restructuring charges of $41 million. These charges comprised of $38 million recorded to Restructuring Costs and $3 million to Other income (expense).

The table below provides the details for the charges incurred during 2024 and project costs to date:


(millions)	2024		Project costs to date
Employee related costs	$	20	$	20
Pension curtailment (gain) loss, net (a)	3		3
Asset related costs	16		16
Other costs	2		2
Total	$	41	$	41

(a) Restructuring costs do not include a $3 million remeasurement loss recorded to Other income (expense). See Note 5 for additional details.

Employee related costs consist of severance and other termination benefits. Pension curtailment (gain) loss consists of a curtailment loss that resulted from restructuring plan initiatives. Asset related costs consisted primarily of accelerated depreciation of $8 million and asset write-offs and impairments of $8 million. Other costs incurred consist primarily of legal and consulting fees.

At September 28, 2024 total project reserves were $22 million, related to expected severance payments and other costs of which a substantial portion will be paid in 2026. Employee related cost accruals are recorded to other current liabilities and other liabilities within the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. Other cost accruals are recorded to accounts payable and other current liabilities within the Unaudited Consolidated Balance Sheet. The following table provides details for exit cost reserves:
