Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

RESTRUCTURING, IMPAIRMENT AND OTHER

We recorded restructuring, impairment and other charges of $682 million, $209 million, and $1,866 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

RESTRUCTURING AND IMPAIRMENT CHARGES

In 2022, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges of $196 million. In the third quarter of 2022, we announced a restructuring plan in conjunction with a change in our operating segments that was effective October 1, 2022. As a result, we incurred charges primarily related to employee termination expenses driven by actions taken by the Company to facilitate the reorganization into two segments. In addition, property, plant and equipment ("PP&E") impairments and other costs were recorded related to exit activities at specific locations in our OFSE segment to align with our current market outlook and rationalize our manufacturing supply chain footprint. See "Note 15. Segment Information" for further information on the change in segments. We expect to incur additional charges of approximately $100 million in 2023 in connection with our restructuring plan initiated in 2022, and currently expect this plan to come to completion by the end of 2023.

In 2021, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges totaling $138 million. Charges incurred were primarily related to the continuation of our overall strategy to restructure our business, which is designed to optimize our structural costs for the year-over-year change in activity levels and market conditions.

In 2020, in response to the impact on our business from the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant decline in oil and gas prices, we recorded restructuring and impairment charges totaling $903 million. Charges incurred were primarily related to rationalizing certain product lines and restructuring our business to right-size our operations and to address the challenging market conditions in the upstream oil and gas market.

The following table presents the restructuring and impairment charges by the impacted segment, however, these charges are not included in the reported segment results.

OTHER CHARGES

Other charges included in the "Restructuring, impairment and other" caption in the consolidated statements of income (loss) were $486 million, $71 million, and $963 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In 2022, other charges were primarily associated with our Russia operations. As a result of the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine that began in February of 2022, governments in the U.S., United Kingdom, European Union, and other countries enacted sanctions against Russia and certain Russian interests. On March 19, 2022, we

suspended any new investments in our Russia operations, but continued to comply with applicable laws and regulations as we fulfilled contractual obligations. Over the course of the second quarter of 2022, we closely monitored the developments in Ukraine and Russia and changes to sanctions all of which continued to make ongoing operations increasingly complex and significantly more challenging. As a result, in the second quarter of 2022, we committed to a plan to sell part of our OFSE Russia business. The sale was completed in the fourth quarter of 2022. See “Note 19. Business Dispositions and Acquisitions” for further information. In addition, given that some of our activities are prohibited under applicable sanctions and almost all of our activities are unsustainable in the current environment, we took actions to suspend substantially all of our operational activities related to Russia. These actions resulted in other charges of $334 million recorded in the second quarter of 2022 primarily associated with the suspension of contracts including all our IET LNG contracts, and the impairment of assets consisting primarily of contract assets, PP&E and reserve for accounts receivable. In addition to these charges, we recorded inventory impairments of $31 million primarily in IET as a result of suspending our Russia operations, which are reported in the “Cost of goods sold” caption in the consolidated statements of income (loss).

During 2022, we also recorded other charges of $84 million in our OFSE segment primarily related to the impairment of PP&E and intangibles for the SPS business due to a decrease in the estimated future cash flows driven by a decline in our long-term market outlook for this business, and $68 million in our IET segment primarily related to a write-off of an equity method investment and the release of foreign currency translation adjustments.

In 2021, other charges were primarily related to certain litigation matters in our IET segment and the release of foreign currency translation adjustments for certain restructured product lines in our IET segment.

In 2020, other charges were comprised of intangible asset impairments of $605 million driven by our decision to exit certain businesses primarily in our OFSE segment, other long-lived asset impairments of $216 million ($124 million of intangible assets, $77 million of property, plant and equipment and $15 million of other assets) in our OFSE segment, other charges of $73 million driven by certain litigation matters and the impairment of an equity method investment primarily in corporate and the OFSE segment, and charges related to corporate facility rationalization.
