| RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND SEPARATION COSTS | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND SEPARATION COSTS Restructuring and Other Charges. The Company has undertaken or committed to various restructuring initiatives, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of manufacturing and service facilities. Restructuring and other charges primarily include employee-related termination benefits associated with workforce reductions, facility exit costs, asset write-downs, and cease-use costs. We expect the majority of costs to be incurred within two years of the commitment of a restructuring initiative. This table is inclusive of all restructuring charges and the charges are shown below for the business where they originated. Separately, in our reported segment results, major restructuring programs are excluded from measurement of segment operating performance for internal and external purposes; those excluded amounts are reported in Restructuring and other charges. See Note 23 for further information.
(a) Includes $14 million and $144 million for the three months ended and $56 million and $237 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, primarily of non-cash impairment, accelerated depreciation, and other charges not reflected in the liability table below. Liabilities associated with restructuring activities were primarily related to workforce reductions and were recorded in All other current liabilities, All other liabilities, and Non-current compensation and benefits.
Total restructuring and other charges incurred for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 primarily relate to programs to simplify the organizational structure of, reduce operating costs in, and to right-size the businesses. On July 21, 2025, we approved a restructuring plan (the Plan) accelerating previously announced enterprise transformation activities to reduce general and administrative costs. We anticipate that the Plan will be substantially complete by mid-2026, subject to local law requirements, including mandatory information and consultation with employee representatives in applicable locations. We expect to incur approximately $250 million to $275 million in costs in connection with the Plan, primarily consisting of termination benefits associated with a reduction in the workforce, with approximately $200 million to $225 million of the costs resulting in future cash expenditures. We estimate the savings on the Plan to be approximately $250 million, with savings beginning in 2026. The estimates of the costs that we expect to incur in connection with the Plan, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ from the estimates discussed above. In addition, we may incur other costs or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of the Plan. In the third quarter of 2025, we incurred $81 million of costs related to the Plan. In the third quarter of 2024, in order to transform and optimize our global footprint, we announced the restructuring of our Hydro Power business, as a result we recognized $146 million of charges, which primarily relates to a non-cash pre-tax impairment charge of property, plant and equipment. See Note 6 for further information. Separation Costs. In connection with the Spin-Off, the Company recognized separation costs (benefits) of $43 million and $27 million for the three months ended and $122 million and $(64) million for nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in our Consolidated and Combined Statement of Income (Loss). Separation costs include system implementations, advisory fees, one-time stock option grant, and other one-time costs, which are primarily recorded in Selling, general, and administrative costs. In addition, in the second quarter of 2024, in connection with GE retaining certain renewable energy U.S. tax equity investments as part of the Spin-Off, the Company recognized a $136 million benefit related to deferred intercompany profit from historical equipment sales to the related investees, recorded in Cost of equipment.
