Reorganization Costs [Abstract] |
Reorganization Costs | (5) Reorganization Costs We recorded net reorganization costs of $0.1 and $0.2 in the first quarter of 2012 and 2011, respectively, in Selling and Administrative Expenses, related to severances and office closures and consolidations. These expenses are net of reversals of amounts recorded in previous periods, resulting mainly from larger-than-estimated cost savings from subleasing and lease buyouts as well as lower-than-expected severance costs. During the first quarter of 2012, we made payments of $7.9 out of our reorganization reserve. We expect a majority of the remaining $21.6 will be paid in 2012. Changes in the reorganization reserve by reportable segment and Corporate are shown below.
