Restructuring Costs and Other

Restructuring Costs and Other

In the three months ended March 31, 2021, we incurred costs for restructuring actions initiated in 2020 as well as costs for restructuring actions initiated in the prior years. Our restructuring actions are associated with cost reduction efforts that include the consolidation of manufacturing and distribution facilities as well as workforce reductions and the sale or exit of businesses we determine to be non-strategic. Restructuring costs include severance and employee benefits, asset impairments, accelerated depreciation, as well as facility closure, contract termination and certain pension costs that are directly related to restructuring actions. These costs are predominantly settled in cash from our operating activities and are generally settled within one year, with the exception of asset impairments, which are non-cash.

Pre-tax restructuring costs incurred in each of our reporting segments and the location of the costs in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in millions):
