Reorganization Costs [Abstract] |
Reorganization Costs | (5) Reorganization Costs We recorded net reorganization costs of $22.2 and $2.1 for the nine months ended September 30, 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. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we made payments of $23.8 out of our reorganization reserve. We expect a majority of the remaining $27.8 will be paid by the end of 2013. Changes in the reorganization reserve by reportable segment are shown below.
