Asset Impairments | ASSET IMPAIRMENTSThe significant negative impact the COVID-19 pandemic has had on Stryker’s operations and financial results has led to the decision to suspend certain in-process investments resulting in charges of $189 to impair certain long-lived assets (primarily the portion of our investment in a new global ERP system that was in-process of being developed for future deployment) and product line and other exit costs in the second quarter of 2020. These charges were included in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses.
