RESTRUCTURING OF OPERATIONS

In accordance with our accounting policy, restructuring costs are included in our corporate and unallocated operating results for segment reporting purposes, which is consistent with management’s view of its businesses. Aggregate pre-tax restructuring charges (credits) included in the consolidated statements of income were recorded by line item as follows:



	2014			2013			2012
Manufacturing cost of sales	$	0.5		$	(0.2	)	$	3.5
Selling and technical services	0.6			0.2			3.1
Research and process development	—			—			0.5
Administrative and general	(0.1		)	4.1			14.1
Asset impairment charge	—			2.8			—
Total	$	1.0		$	6.9		$	21.2

Details of our 2013 restructuring initiatives are as follows:

In the third quarter of 2013, we launched cost reduction initiatives in our Industrial Materials segment to address market conditions and better position ourselves for profitable growth. The plan included headcount reductions of approximately 55 people, through modification of shift patterns within various operations, centralization of logistics and planning activities, and closure of a small site in Beelitz, Germany. The plan resulted in a pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $4.5 related mainly to severance costs and the closure of the manufacturing facility. The initiative is expected to be completed by 2015.

In the second quarter of 2013, we launched initiatives in our Aerospace Materials segment to move all production operations from the Costa Mesa, Adelanto, and Huntington Beach, California sites into the Winona, Minnesota, Tulsa, Oklahoma, and Anaheim, California locations. Approximately 120 employees will be impacted by this move. These plans resulted in a restructuring charge of $1.6, primarily for severance, retention costs, and accelerated depreciation. The initiatives are expected to be completed in waves by the first quarter of 2015 and paid for by mid-2015.

During 2014, we recorded an additional charge of $1.4 to these initiatives. The remaining reserve relating to the 2013 restructuring initiatives at December 31, 2014 is $1.8.

Details of our 2012 restructuring initiatives are as follows:

In the third quarter of 2012, we approved plans to realign the supporting structure of our Aerospace Materials and Industrial Materials segments to take advantage of synergies from the acquisition of Umeco. These plans resulted in a restructuring charge of $6.6 related to the severance of 28 positions. The initiatives were substantially completed in 2013 and are expected to be paid by the end of 2015.

In the second quarter of 2012, we launched initiatives in our corporate functions across sales, marketing, manufacturing, supply chain, research and development, and administrative functions to mitigate continuing costs following the anticipated sale of Coatings. These initiatives resulted in charges related to severance and employee benefits of $14.7 associated with the elimination of 171 positions. These initiatives are expected to be substantially completed and paid in early 2016, but may carry over into later periods.

During 2013, we recorded an additional charge of $0.9 to these initiatives and during 2014, we recorded a favorable adjustment of $0.4 to these initiatives. The remaining reserve relating to the 2012 restructuring initiatives at December 31, 2014 is $3.2.
