Restructuring Charges [Abstract] |
Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net | Employee Separation / Asset Related Charges, Net 2014 Restructuring Program In the second quarter 2014, DuPont commenced a restructuring plan to reduce residual costs associated with the separation of its Performance Chemicals segment and to improve productivity across all businesses and functions. The restructuring plan is a part of the company's broad-based redesign initiative to streamline and further leverage global business support for its more focused portfolio of businesses post the separation of Performance Chemicals. As a result, during the three months ended June 30, 2014 a pre-tax charge of $263 was recorded in employee separation / asset related charges, net in the company's interim Consolidated Income Statements. The charge consisted of $166 employee separation costs, $3 of other non-personnel charges and $94 of asset shut down costs. The actions associated with this charge and all related payments are expected to be substantially complete by December 31, 2015. The company anticipates that it will incur future charges, which it cannot reasonably estimate at this time, related to this plan as it implements additional actions. The second quarter 2014 charge impacted segment earnings as follows: Agriculture - $47, Electronics & Communications - $68, Industrial Biosciences - $2, Nutrition & Health - $8, Performance Chemicals - $19, Performance Materials - $29, and Safety & Protection - $31, Other - $2, as well as Corporate expenses - $57. Account balances and activity for the 2014 restructuring program are summarized below:
