RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURING
During the first quarter of 2022, Wabtec announced a three-year strategic initiative (“Integration 2.0”) to review and consolidate our operating footprint, reduce headcount, streamline the end-to-end manufacturing process, restructure the North America distribution channels, expand operations in low-cost countries, and simplify the business through systems enablement. Through this initiative, Management will also evaluate additional capital investments to further simplify and streamline the business. The Company anticipates that it will incur one-time charges related to Integration 2.0 of approximately $135 million to $165 million.
During 2022, the Company incurred one-time charges related to the initiative of approximately $46 million, of which approximately $39 million was included in Cost of goods sold and approximately $7 million was included in Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Consolidated Statements of Income. These charges are primarily for employee-related costs associated with site consolidations in Europe, and costs related to the restructuring of the North America distribution channels. Approximately $32 million is related to actions in the Transit segment and approximately $14 million is related to actions in the Freight segment.
Total charges related to Integration 2.0 to date are approximately $69 million which includes amounts recorded in the fourth quarter 2021 for similar actions in Europe. Cash payments made during 2022 were not material.
