RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

We periodically take action to improve operating efficiencies, typically in connection with business acquisitions or changes in the economic environment. Our footprint and headcount reductions and organizational integration actions relate to discrete, unique restructuring events, primarily reflected in the following plans.

In March 2024, the Company committed to workforce reduction plans in the United States and globally, in an effort to reduce complexity and simplify our organizational model after the European major domestic appliance transaction. The workforce reduction plans included involuntary severance actions as of the end of the first quarter of 2024. Total expected costs for these actions is $23 million, of which we have incurred $14 million in employee termination costs and $9 million other associated costs within the first quarter. All of these costs will result in cash settlements primarily in 2024. The Company is currently evaluating certain follow-on restructuring actions for the remainder of 2024.

The following table summarizes the changes to our restructuring liability during the three months ended March 31, 2024:
