Restructuring Charges [Abstract] |
Restructuring Charges | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES During 2014 and the first quarter of 2015, we announced the following restructuring plans: (a) the closure of a microwave oven manufacturing facility and other organizational efficiency actions in EMEA and Latin America, (b) organizational integration activities in China and Europe to support the integration of the acquisitions of Whirlpool China and Indesit, and (c) the closure of a research and development facility in Germany in 2016. In the second quarter of 2015, we committed to a restructuring plan to integrate our Italian legacy operations with those of Indesit. The industrial plan, which was negotiated with the Italian government and approved by relevant labor unions in July 2015, provides for the closure or repurposing of certain manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions at other facilities. In addition, the restructuring plan provides for headcount reductions in the salaried employee workforce. We estimate that we will incur up to approximately €179 million (approximately $199 million as of June 30, 2015) in employee-related costs, approximately €25 million (approximately $28 million as of June 30, 2015) in asset impairment costs, and approximately €37 million (approximately $41 million as of June 30, 2015) in other associated costs in connection with these actions. Completion of these plans is expected by the end of 2018. We estimate that approximately €209 million (approximately $233 million as of June 30, 2015) of the estimated €241 million total cost will result in future cash expenditures. The following table summarizes the change in our combined restructuring liability for the period ended June 30, 2015:
