For the three months ended March 31, 2019, asset impairments and sales included an impairment charge of $6 related to a fire at a production facility in Asia and restructuring included a charge of $8 related to headcount reductions across the Company's European Division.

Other income related to a favorable court ruling in a lawsuit brought by one of the Company's Brazilian subsidiaries claiming it was overcharged by the local tax authorities for indirect taxes paid in prior years. Certain other Brazilian subsidiaries of the Company have similar suits pending in other jurisdictions.

At March 31, 2019, the Company had restructuring accruals of $25, primarily related to current and prior year actions to reduce manufacturing capacity and headcount in its European businesses. The Company expects to pay these amounts over the next twelve months. The Company continues to review its supply and demand profile and long-term plans in its businesses, and it is possible that the Company may record additional restructuring charges in the future.
