Restructuring and other costs of $9 million recorded in the first three months of 2025 consisted primarily of employee severance benefits and other restructuring costs related to the plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on July 29, 2024 (the “2024 Plan”) and other restructuring actions, including the continuation of the global supply chain transformation initiatives from prior years.

With the 2024 Plan, the Company seeks to improve operational performance and drive stockholder value creation. In connection with the 2024 Plan, which is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2025, the Company anticipates a net reduction in the Company’s global workforce of approximately 2% to 4%. The proposed changes are subject to co-determination processes with employee representative groups in countries where required. Actions taken under the 2024 Plan will seek to further streamline the Company’s operations and global footprint, as well as improve alignment of the Company’s cost structure with its strategic growth objectives. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has incurred $30 million in restructuring charges under the 2024 Plan since its inception. In total, including the charges already incurred, the Company expects to incur between $35 million and $50 million in non-recurring restructuring charges under the 2024 Plan, primarily related to employee transition, severance payments, and employee benefits, which are expected to be expensed and paid in cash by the end of 2025.

With the restructuring plan approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 14, 2023 (the “2023 Plan”), the Company sought to restructure the business through a new operating model with five global business units, optimize central functions and overall management infrastructure, and implement other efforts aimed at cost savings. The 2023 Plan’s annual cost savings target of $200 million has been substantially met, with the benefits mostly offset in the short term by additional investments in sales personnel, the Company’s new global Enterprise Resource Planning (“ERP”) system, and other transformation initiatives. As of March 31, 2025, the Company has incurred $86 million in restructuring charges under the 2023 Plan since its inception, primarily related to employee transition, severance payments, employee benefits, and facility closure costs, and $20 million in other non-recurring costs related to restructuring activities, which mostly consist of consulting, legal, and other professional service fees. Remaining restructuring charges attributable to the 2023 Plan are not expected to be material.

The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the 2024 Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to several assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions and co-determination aspects in countries where required. Actual amounts may differ materially from estimates. In addition, the Company may incur additional charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the 2024 Plan.
