Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring Charges | Restructuring Charges In fiscal years 2025 and 2024, the Company incurred $303 million and $389 million, respectively, of restructuring and associated costs primarily related to cost reduction initiatives, which predominantly included employee termination benefits, facility consolidations, and asset write-downs, and specifically for fiscal year 2025, contract terminations. In fiscal year 2023, restructuring costs primarily related to Enterprise Excellence and Simplification restructuring programs, both of which were substantially completed as of the end fiscal year 2023. Enterprise Excellence was designed to leverage the Company’s global size and scale to focus on global operations, and functional and commercial optimization, and had total cumulative pre-tax charges of $1.8 billion. Simplification was designed to focus the organization on accelerating innovation, enhancing customer experience, driving revenue growth and winning market share, and had total cumulative pre-tax charges of $0.5 billion. In addition, in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023, the Company incurred $0.3 billion of restructuring charges primarily related to employee termination benefits to support cost reduction initiatives. These charges were incremental to charges incurred under our Enterprise Excellence and Simplification programs noted above. Employee-related costs primarily consist of termination benefits provided to employees who have been involuntarily terminated and, specifically for fiscal year 2023, voluntary early retirement benefits. Associated and other costs primarily include salaries and wages of employees that are fully-dedicated to restructuring activities, consulting fees, asset write-offs, and contract terminations.
