Restructuring Programs | Note 6. Restructuring Programs 2014-2018 Restructuring Program On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion restructuring program, comprised of approximately $2.5 billion in cash costs and $1 billion in non-cash costs (the “2014-2018 Restructuring Program”), and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. The primary objective of the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program is intended primarily to cover severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing-related one-time costs. We expect to incur the majority of the program’s charges in 2015 and 2016 and to complete the program by year-end 2018. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and related implementation charges of $605 million related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. Restructuring Costs: We recorded restructuring charges of $163 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 within asset impairment and exit costs. The activity for the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program liability for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was:
|  | Severance and related costs |  |  | Asset Write-downs |  |  | Total |

Liability balance, March, 31, 2015 |  | $ | 256 |  |  | $ | – |  |  | $ | 256 |
We spent $39 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 in cash severance and related costs. We also recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments totaling $78 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. At March 31, 2015, $248 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $8 million was recorded within other long-term liabilities. Implementation Costs: Implementation costs are directly attributable to restructuring activities; however, they do not qualify for special accounting treatment as exit or disposal activities. We believe the disclosure of implementation costs provides readers of our financial statements with more information on the total costs of our 2014-2018 Restructuring Program. Implementation costs primarily relate to reorganizing our operations and facilities in connection with our supply chain reinvention program and other identified productivity and cost saving initiatives. The costs include incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, costs to terminate certain contracts and the simplification of our information systems. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $61 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses. Restructuring and Implementation Costs in Operating Income: During 2015 and 2014, we recorded restructuring and implementation costs related to the 2014-2018 Restructuring Program within operating income as follows:

2012-2014 Restructuring Program On October 1, 2012, we completed the Spin-Off of our North American grocery business, Kraft Foods Group, Inc. (“Kraft Foods Group”), to our shareholders (the “Spin-Off”). Prior to this transaction, in 2012, our Board of Directors approved $1.5 billion of related restructuring and implementation costs (the “2012-2014 Restructuring Program”) reflecting primarily severance, asset disposals and other manufacturing-related one-time costs. The primary objective of the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program was to ensure that Mondelēz International and Kraft Foods Group were each set up to operate efficiently and execute on our respective business strategies upon separation and in the future. Of the $1.5 billion of 2012-2014 Restructuring Program costs, we retained approximately $925 million and Kraft Foods Group retained the balance of the program. Through the end of 2014, we incurred total restructuring and related implementation charges of $899 million, and completed incurring planned charges on the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program. Restructuring Costs: We recorded reversals to the restructuring charges of $2 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 related to accruals no longer required. We recorded restructuring charges of $42 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 within asset impairment and exit costs. The activity for the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program liability for the three months ended March 31, 2015 was:

We spent $19 million in the three months ended March 31, 2015 and $28 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014 in cash severance and related costs. We also recognized non-cash pension plan settlement losses (See Note 9, Benefit Plans), non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other non-cash adjustments totaling $13 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. At March 31, 2015, $74 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $28 million was recorded within other long-term liabilities. Implementation Costs: Implementation costs related to our 2012-2014 Restructuring Program primarily relate to activities in connection with the Spin-Off such as reorganizing our operations and facilities, the discontinuance of certain product lines and incremental expenses related to the closure of facilities, replicating our information systems infrastructure and reorganizing our sales function. Within our continuing results of operations, we recorded implementation costs of $24 million in the three months ended March 31, 2014. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses. Restructuring and Implementation Costs in Operating Income: During the three months ended March 31, 2014 and since inception of the 2012-2014 Restructuring Program, we recorded restructuring and implementation costs within operating income as follows:
