RESTRUCTURING COSTS RESTRUCTURING COSTS
The Company incurs costs associated with restructuring initiatives intended to improve operating performance, profitability and working capital levels. Actions associated with these initiatives may include improving productivity, workforce reductions and the consolidation of facilities. Due to the size, nature and frequency of these discrete plans, they are fundamentally different from the Company’s ongoing productivity initiatives.
The Company recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs for new and ongoing restructuring actions as follows:
