2013 actions

We announced in January 2014 cost-saving actions in Embedded Processing and in Japan to reduce expenses and focus our investments on markets with greater potential for sustainable growth and strong long-term returns. These actions are now complete.  

Prior actions

Prior to 2013, we announced a restructuring of our former Wireless business and the closures of manufacturing facilities in Houston, Texas, and Hiji, Japan. These actions were completed in 2013. 

The table below reflects the changes in accrued restructuring balances associated with these actions:

Gains on sales of assets

During the first six months of 2014, we recognized $39 million of gains on sales of assets. This consisted of $30 million associated with the sale of our site in Nice, France, and $9 million of asset sales associated primarily with the closure of our Houston, Texas, and Hiji, Japan, manufacturing facilities.
