Snap-on recorded costs associated with exit and disposal activities of $12.5 million during 2020. Snap-on did not record any costs for exit and disposal activities in 2019. The 2020 costs associated with disposal activities by operating segment are as follows:

Of the $12.5 million of costs incurred in 2020, $12.2 million qualified for accrual treatment. Costs associated with exit and disposal activities in 2020 primarily related to headcount reductions from the ongoing optimization of the company’s cost structure in Europe and various other management and realignment actions.

Snap-on’s exit and disposal accrual activity for 2020 is as follows:


	Balance at						Balance at
(Amounts in millions)	2019 Year End		Provision in 2020		Usage in 2020		2020 Year End

Total	$	—	$	12.2	$	(2.2)	$	10.0

As of January 2, 2021, the company expects that approximately $8.1 million of the $10.0 million exit and disposal accrual will be utilized in 2021, and the remainder thereafter, primarily for longer-term severance payments.

Snap-on expects to fund the remaining cash requirements of its exit and disposal activities with available cash on hand, cash flows from operating activities and borrowings under the company’s existing credit facilities. The estimated costs for the exit and disposal activities were based on management’s best business judgement under prevailing circumstances.
