Merger Restructuring And Other Activity [Abstract] |
MERGER, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER ACTIVITY | NOTE 3. MERGER, RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER ACTIVITY The Company has taken actions to optimize its asset base and drive operational efficiencies. These actions include acquiring profitable businesses, closing underperforming retail stores and non-strategic distribution facilities, consolidating functional activities, eliminating redundant positions and disposing of non-strategic businesses and assets. The expenses and any income recognized directly associated with these actions are included in Merger, restructuring and other operating expenses, net on a separate line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in order to identify these activities apart from the expenses incurred to sell to and service customers. These expenses are not included in the determination of Division operating income. The table below summarizes the major components of Merger, restructuring and other operating expenses, net.

MERGER AND TRANSACTION RELATED EXPENSES In the first quarter of 2023, the Company recognized transaction and integration expenses of less than $1 million related to the acquisition of the small independent regional office supply distribution business. T ransaction and integration include legal, accounting, and other third-party expenses incurred in connection with acquisitions. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company did no t incur any transaction and integration expenses. RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan In May 2020, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to realign the Company’s operational focus to support its “business-to-business” solutions and IT services business units and improve costs (“Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan”). Implementation of the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan was expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2023. The Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan aims to generate savings through optimizing the Company’s retail footprint, removing costs that directly support the Retail business and additional measures to implement a company-wide low-cost business model, which will then be invested in accelerating the growth of the Company’s business-to-business platform. In December 2022, the Company’s Board of Directors approved to extend the program through 2024. The Company closed 20 retail stores in the first quarter of 2023. The Company had closed a total of 237 retail stores and two distribution facilities in 2022, 2021 and 2020 under the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan. It is anticipated that additional retail stores will be closed in 2023 and 2024, however, it is generally understood that closures will approximate the store’s lease termination date. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company had less than $1 million of restructuring costs associated with the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan. In the first quarter of 2023, the Company made cash payments of $3 million associated with expenditures for the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan. Since its inception in 2020, the Company incurred $81 million in restructuring expenses to implement the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan through the first quarter of 2023 for its continuing operations, of which $64 million were cash expenditures. Total estimated restructuring costs related to the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan are expected to be up to $95 million. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company incurred $1 million, net, in restructuring expenses associated with the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan, which consisted of facility closure and other costs. The Company had $2 million of cash expenditures in the first quarter of 2022 associated with the Maximize B2B Restructuring Plan. OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES Other operating expenses represent costs incurred that are incremental to those related to running the Company’s core operations, which are presented within Selling, general and administrative expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company did not incur any other operating expenses in the first quarter of 2023. In the first quarter of 2022, the Company had incurred $9 million in third-party professional fees associated with the previously planned separation of its consumer business.
