Restructuring Costs

(6) Restructuring Costs

We recorded net restructuring costs of $48.2 and $39.8 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in selling and administrative expenses, primarily related to severances and office closures and consolidations in multiple countries and territories. As a result of the adoption of the new accounting guidance on leases as of January 1, 2019, the office closure costs of $8.2 in the first quarter of 2020 were recorded as an impairment to the operating lease right-of-use asset and, thus, are not included in the restructuring reserve balance as of March 31, 2020. The costs paid, utilized or transferred out of our restructuring reserve were $20.4 during the three months ended March 31, 2020. We expect a majority of the remaining $35.1 reserve will be paid by the end of 2020.
