(11)RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

We periodically take action to improve operating efficiencies, typically in connection with business acquisitions or changes in the economic environment. Our footprint and headcount reductions and organizational integration actions relate to discrete, unique restructuring events, primarily reflected in the following plans:

In March 2026, the Company committed to workforce reduction plans and multi-region footprint optimization plans in the United States and globally, in an effort to reduce complexity and simplify our organization. The plan includes severance and impairment charges. Total costs for these actions were $32 million, of which we incurred $12 million in employee termination costs, $18 million in asset impairments, and $2 million in other associated costs. The majority of these non-cash charges and cash settlements will occur in 2026.

In the fourth quarter of 2025, the Company committed to a multi-region footprint optimization plan as part of an effort to reduce complexity. The plan includes severance and impairment charges. Total costs for these actions were $43 million, of which we incurred $7 million in employee termination costs and $36 million in asset impairments. The majority of these costs resulted in non-cash charges, with the cash settlements being paid in 2025.

Previously in 2025, the Company committed to workforce reduction plans globally, in an effort to reduce complexity and simplify our organization. Total costs for these actions were $20 million which were primarily employee termination costs. The majority of these costs resulted in cash settlements in 2025.
