Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring | RESTRUCTURING The Company announced restructuring actions in its Medical Devices segment to better serve the needs of patients and customers in today’s evolving healthcare marketplace. The Company is undertaking actions to strengthen its go-to-market model, accelerate the pace of innovation, further prioritize key platforms and geographies, and streamline operations while maintaining high quality standards. The Company estimates that, in connection with its plans, it will record pre-tax restructuring and other charges of approximately $2.0 billion to $2.4 billion. In the fiscal third quarter of 2016, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $109 million, of which $3 million was included in cost of products sold and $44 million was included in other (income) expense. In the fiscal nine months of 2016, the Company recorded a pre-tax charge of $387 million, of which $27 million was included in cost of products sold and $64 million was included in other (income) expense. See table below for additional details. Total project costs of $977 million have been recorded since the restructuring has been announced. Additionally, as part of the plan, the Company expects that the restructuring actions will result in position eliminations of approximately 4 to 6 percent of the Medical Devices segment’s global workforce over the next two years, subject to any consultation procedures in countries, where required. Approximately 1,170 positions have been eliminated since the restructuring has been announced. The Company estimates that approximately one half of the cumulative pre-tax costs will result in cash outlays, including approximately $500 million of employee severance. Approximately one half of the cumulative pre-tax costs are non-cash, relating primarily to facility rationalization, inventory write-offs and intangible asset write-offs. The following table summarizes the severance related reserves and the associated spending under this initiative through the fiscal nine months of 2016:
