Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
2024 Transformation Initiative | 2024 Transformation Initiative On March 27, 2024, we announced the 2024 Transformation Initiative intended to improve our focus on growth and reduce our structural cost base by realigning our internal operating and management structure to streamline our global supply chain and improve the efficiency of our corporate and regional overhead cost structures. The transformation is expected to impact our organization in all major geographies, and workforce reductions are expected to be in the range of 4% to 5%. Certain actions under the 2024 Transformation Initiative are being finalized for implementation, and accounting for such actions will commence when the actions are authorized for execution. The 2024 Transformation Initiative is expected to be completed by the end of 2026, with total costs anticipated to be approximately $1.5 billion pre-tax. Cash costs are expected to be approximately 60% of that amount, primarily related to workforce reductions and other program costs. Expected non-cash charges are primarily related to incremental depreciation and asset write-offs, including losses associated with the expected exit of certain markets. Through September 30, 2025, cumulative pre-tax charges for the 2024 Transformation Initiative were $718 ($561 after-tax). The following charges were incurred in connection with the 2024 Transformation Initiative:
