13. Restructuring and Impairment Costs
To better align its resources with its overall strategies and reduce the cost structure of its global operations to address the softness in certain underlying markets, Adient commits to restructuring plans as necessary. During the first quarter of fiscal 2024, Adient committed to a restructuring plan ("2024 Plan") resulting in charges of $11 million. The restructuring actions relate to cost reduction initiatives and consist primarily of workforce reductions in EMEA and Americas. The restructuring actions are expected to be substantially completed by fiscal 2025. Restructuring costs are included in restructuring and impairment costs in the consolidated statements of income. The following tables summarize the changes in Adient's restructuring reserve. For the three months ended December 31, 2023:

Adient's restructuring plans include workforce reductions of approximately 13,000 employees. Restructuring charges associated with employee severance and termination benefits are paid over the severance period granted to each employee or on a lump sum basis in accordance with individual severance agreements. As of December 31, 2023, approximately 11,000 of the employees have been separated from Adient pursuant to the restructuring plans. In addition, the restructuring plans included twenty-six plant closures. As of December 31, 2023, twenty-two of the twenty-six plants have been closed. Adient's management closely monitors its overall cost structure and continually analyzes each of its businesses for opportunities to consolidate current operations, improve operating efficiencies and locate facilities in low cost countries in close proximity to customers. This ongoing analysis includes a review of its manufacturing, engineering, purchasing and administrative functions, as well as the overall global footprint for all its businesses. Because of the importance of new vehicle sales by major automotive manufacturers to operations, Adient is affected by the general business conditions in the automotive industry. Future adverse developments in the automotive industry could impact Adient's liquidity position, lead to impairment charges and/or require additional restructuring of its operations.
