Reorganization Costs [Abstract] |
Reorganization Costs | 5) Reorganization Costs We recorded net reorganization costs of $2.1 and $8.1 in the first nine months of 2011 and 2010, respectively, in Selling and Administrative Expenses, related to severances and office closures and consolidations in several countries. These expenses are net of reversals of previous accruals resulting mainly from larger-than-estimated cost savings from subleasing and lease buyouts as well as lower-than-expected severance costs. During the first nine months of 2011, we made payments of $18.8 out of our reorganization reserve. We expect a majority of the remaining $17.5 reserve will be paid by the end of 2012. Changes in the reorganization reserve by reportable segment and Corporate are shown below. This presentation reflects the realignment of our segments. See Note 15 for further information.
