Restructuring RESTRUCTURING
Restructuring charges primarily consist of employee separation benefits under existing severance programs, foreign statutory termination benefits, certain one-time termination benefits, contract termination costs and other costs that are associated with restructuring actions. Certain restructuring charges are accrued prior to payments made in accordance with applicable guidance. For such charges, the amounts are determined based on estimates prepared at the time the restructuring actions were approved by management. Inventory write offs due to restructuring are reported in Cost of sales and all other restructuring charges are reported in Selling, general and administrative expense within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

In the first quarter of 2025, the Company implemented a restructuring plan (the “JBT Marel 2025 Integration restructuring plan”) aiming to achieve a portion of its synergy targets as a result of the Marel acquisition to optimize the overall cost structure for the combined Company on a global basis. The initiatives under this plan include streamlining operations and adjusting our general and administrative infrastructure to meet the strategic needs of the Company. The total estimated cost in connection with this plan is in the range of $55 million to $60 million. The Company recognized cumulative restructuring charges of $29 million and expects to recognize the remaining costs by the end of 2026.
The following table details the cumulative restructuring charges reported in operating income for the JBT Marel 2025 Integration restructuring plan since its implementation:
