Restructuring Charges
During 2013, as part of our ongoing strategy to reduce costs and improve profitability, we implemented restructuring actions and recorded restructuring charges of $52.2 million (including $52.4 million related to 2013 actions, net of a $0.2 million credit related to prior period restructuring reserves). The 2013 restructuring charges included $51.0 million for severance and related costs associated with 553 employees and $1.5 million of charges related to excess facilities.
In 2012, we adopted a plan to restructure our workforce and related facilities to enhance long-term profitability and recorded restructuring charges of $24.9 million. The restructuring charges included $24.4 million for severance and related costs associated with 209 employees and a $0.5 million charge related to facility consolidations.
The following table summarizes restructuring charges reserve activity for the three years ended September 30, 2013:
