Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Other Related Charges | Restructuring and Other Related Charges Restructuring During the first quarter of 2021, the Company initiated a global restructuring plan to focus on cost discipline by reviewing headcounts, facilities and contractor agreements. The Company is transforming its business as it prepares to exit the COVID-19 crisis by controlling fixed costs and matching variable costs to demand (“T21”). As of September 30, 2021, the Company formally communicated the termination of employment to approximately 260 employees, as part of this process, and terminated approximately 255 of these employees. The Company expects further restructuring expense of approximately $20 million related to this initiative to be incurred in 2021. During the first quarter of 2020, the Company initiated a global restructuring plan to reduce operating costs, such as headcount and facilities, due to declining reservations and revenue resulting from the COVID-19 outbreak (“2020 Optimization Plan”). The Company expects no further restructuring expense related to this initiative. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to drive global efficiency by improving processes and consolidating functions, and to create new objectives and strategies for its truck rental operations in the U.S. by reducing headcount, large vehicles and rental locations (“T19”). This initiative is complete. The following tables summarize the changes to our restructuring-related liabilities and identifies the amounts recorded within the Company’s reporting segments for restructuring charges and corresponding payments and utilizations:
