Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges | NOTE 15 — Restructuring and Related Reorganization Charges In connection with activities to centralize and optimize certain operations as well as migrate technology platforms in the prior years, primarily related to previously disclosed acquisitions, we recognized $17 million, $56 million and $105 million in restructuring and related reorganization charges during 2017, 2016 and 2015. The charges were primarily related to employee severance and benefits, including severance amounts under pre-existing written plans and contracts Orbitz had with its employees and incremental retention compensation for exiting employees as well as stock-compensation charges for acceleration of replacement awards pursuant to certain employment agreements. Based on current plans, which are subject to change, and excluding any possible future acquisition integrations, we do not expect material restructuring charges in 2018. The following table summarizes the restructuring and related reorganization activity for 2015, 2016 and 2017:
