Restructuring Program

Note 7. Restructuring Program

On May 6, 2014, our Board of Directors approved a $3.5 billion 2014-2018 restructuring program and up to $2.2 billion of capital expenditures. On August 31, 2016, our Board of Directors approved a $600 million reallocation between restructuring program cash costs and capital expenditures so the $5.7 billion program consisted of approximately $4.1 billion of restructuring program charges ($3.1 billion cash costs and $1.0 billion non-cash costs) and up to $1.6 billion of capital expenditures. On September 6, 2018, our Board of Directors approved an extension of the restructuring program through 2022, an increase of $1.3 billion in the program charges and an increase of $700 million in capital expenditures. The total $7.7 billion program now consists of $5.4 billion of program charges ($4.1 billion of cash costs and $1.3 billion of non-cash costs) and total capital expenditures of $2.3 billion to be incurred over the life of the program. The current restructuring program, as increased and extended by these actions, is now called the Simplify to Grow Program.

The primary objective of the Simplify to Grow Program is to reduce our operating cost structure in both our supply chain and overhead costs. The program covers severance as well as asset disposals and other manufacturing and procurement-related one-time costs. Since inception, we have incurred total restructuring and implementation charges of $4.8 billion related to the Simplify to Grow Program. We expect to incur the remainder of the program charges by year-end 2022.

Restructuring Costs:

The Simplify to Grow Program liability activity for the three months ended March 31, 2021 was:

			Severance and related costs						Asset Write-downs						Total
			(in millions)
Liability balance, January 1, 2021			$	304					$	—					$	304
Charges			47						41						88
Cash spent			(34)						—						(34)
Non-cash settlements/adjustments			1						(41)						(40)
Currency			(10)						—						(10)
Liability balance, March 31, 2021			$	308					$	—					$	308

•We recorded restructuring charges of $88 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $15 million in the first quarter of 2020 within asset impairment and exit costs and benefit plan non-service income.

•We spent $34 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $37 million in the first quarter of 2020 in cash severance and related costs.

•We recognized non-cash asset write-downs (including accelerated depreciation and asset impairments) and other adjustments, including any gains on sale of restructuring program assets, which totaled $40 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $3 million in the first quarter of 2020.

•At March 31, 2021, $261 million of our net restructuring liability was recorded within other current liabilities and $47 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 Simplify to Grow 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 $34 million in the first quarter of 2021 and $43 million in the first quarter of 2020. We recorded these costs within cost of sales and general corporate expense within selling, general and administrative expenses.

Restructuring and Implementation Costs:

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2020, and since inception of the Simplify to Grow Program, we recorded the following restructuring and implementation costs within segment operating income and earnings before income taxes:

			Latin America						AMEA						Europe						North America						Corporate						Total
