Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure | Restructuring We have taken a series of actions both in response to the challenging operating environment and in connection with the 2009 Centex merger that were designed to reduce ongoing operating costs and improve operating efficiencies. As a result of the combination of these actions, we incurred total restructuring charges as summarized below ($000’s omitted):
| Total Restructuring Actions

Employee severance benefits | $ | 10,841 |  |  | $ | 24,850 |  |  | $ | 47,525 |
Lease exit costs | 5,923 |  |  | 27,356 |  |  | 23,208 |

| $ | 20,853 |  |  | $ | 56,135 |  |  | $ | 73,016 |
* Includes $65.4 million of restructuring costs related to the Centex merger. Of the total restructuring costs reflected in the above table, $1.2 million in 2011, $5.4 million in 2010, and $8.6 million in 2009 are classified within Financial Services expenses. All other employee severance benefits are included within selling, general and administrative expense while lease exit and other costs are included in other expense (income), net. The remaining liability for employee severance benefits and exited leases totaled $2.6 million and $29.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2011 and $8.0 million and $41.7 million, respectively, at December 31, 2010. Substantially all of the remaining liability for employee severance benefits will be paid within the next year, while cash expenditures related to the remaining liability for lease exit costs will be incurred over the remaining terms of the applicable office leases, which generally extend several years. The restructuring costs relate to each of the reportable segments and did not materially impact the comparability of any one segment.
