Costs Associated with Rationalization Programs | NOTE 3. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH RATIONALIZATION PROGRAMS In order to improve our global competitiveness and as part of our execution of the Goodyear Forward transformation plan ("Goodyear Forward"), we have implemented, and are implementing, rationalization actions to reduce high-cost and excess manufacturing capacity and operating and administrative costs. The following table presents a roll-forward of the liability balance between periods:

In July 2024, as part of Goodyear Forward, we approved a rationalization plan to open a shared service center in Costa Rica and to exit certain Commercial Tire and Service Center (“CTSC”) locations. The proposed plan will lead to a reduction of 100 net positions, which includes the transfer of certain associate and contractor positions to the new shared service center and the elimination of certain positions in CTSC. Total pre-tax charges are expected to be $28 million, of which $18 million are expected to be cash charges primarily for associate-related costs. Non-cash charges are expected to be $10 million, consisting of accelerated lease amortization and pension settlement costs. We accrued approximately $9 million for this plan at June 30, 2024. During the first quarter of 2024, we approved a rationalization plan in Asia Pacific to permanently close our Malaysia tire manufacturing facility by June 30, 2024 as part of our strategy to improve profitability and reduce production costs. We have approximately $10 million ($5 million after minority) accrued for this plan at June 30, 2024, which is expected to be substantially paid during the third quarter of 2024. The remainder of the accrual balance at June 30, 2024 includes $242 million related to the closures of our Fulda, Germany ("Fulda") and our Fürstenwalde, Germany ("Fürstenwalde") tire manufacturing facilities, $143 million related to the rationalization and workforce reorganization plan in Europe, Middle East and Africa ("EMEA"), which reflects $13 million of reversals due to voluntary attrition, $15 million related to the plan to improve profitability in Australia and New Zealand, $10 million related to plans to reduce Selling, Administrative and General expense ("SAG") headcount, $5 million related to the closure of Cooper Tire's Melksham, United Kingdom manufacturing facility ("Melksham"), $5 million related to the closed Amiens, France tire manufacturing facility, $4 million related to our global workforce reorganization plan to improve our cost structure, $4 million related to the plan to streamline our EMEA distribution network, $4 million related to the plan to reduce costs associated with our global operations and technology organization, and various other plans to reduce headcount and improve operating efficiency. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, $192 million and $239 million were recorded in Other Current Liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, respectively.

Ongoing rationalization plans had approximately $920 million in charges incurred prior to 2024 and have approximately $230 million in expected charges to be incurred in future periods. Approximately 750 associates will be released under plans initiated in 2024, of which approximately 50 were released through June 30, 2024. In the first six months of 2024, approximately 900 associates were released under plans initiated in prior years. Approximately 3,050 associates remain to be released under all ongoing rationalization plans.
