Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring | Restructuring In 2014, we initiated a restructuring plan to invest in both continuing innovation and the launch of our new pipeline molecules while improving our cost structure. As part of the plan, we closed facilities in Washington State and Colorado and are reducing the number of buildings we occupy at our headquarters in Thousand Oaks, California, as well as at other locations. We continue to estimate that we will incur $800 million to $900 million of pre-tax charges in connection with our restructuring, including (i) separation and other headcount-related costs of $535 million to $585 million with respect to staff reductions and (ii) asset-related charges of $265 million to $315 million that consist primarily of asset impairments, accelerated depreciation and other related costs resulting from the consolidation of our worldwide facilities. Through September 30, 2017, we incurred a total of $532 million of separation and other headcount-related costs and $239 million of net asset-related charges. The amounts related to the restructuring recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, were not significant. As of September 30, 2017, the total restructuring liability was not significant.
