| RESTRUCTURING-RELATED ACTIVITIES | NOTE M - RESTRUCTURING-RELATED ACTIVITIES On July 21, 2026, our Board of Directors approved, and we committed to, a new global restructuring program (the 2026 Restructuring Plan). The 2026 Restructuring Plan is intended to support our efforts to drive sustained cost efficiencies and enable continued growth by ensuring that we are structured and resourced to support our strategic priorities. Key activities under the 2026 Restructuring Plan will include supply chain optimization, including transferring certain production lines among facilities, targeted functional transformation and organizational structure evolution to drive sustained cost efficiencies. These activities are expected to be initiated in 2026 and to be substantially completed by the end of 2029. While new jobs are created in areas of growth and resources are deployed to support our portfolio and global market needs, we do expect some headcount reductions to result from these restructuring activities. The implementation of the 2026 Restructuring Plan is estimated to result in total pre-tax charges of approximately $700 million to $800 million, of which approximately $600 million to $700 million is expected to result in future cash outlays, and reduce gross annual pre-tax expenses by approximately $500 million as program benefits are realized. We expect a substantial portion of the savings to be reinvested in strategic growth initiatives. The following table provides a summary of our estimates of total pre-tax charges associated with the 2026 Restructuring Plan by major type of cost:
(1) Represents costs to transfer product manufacturing lines between geographically dispersed facilities. (2) Plans detailing specific employee impacts will be developed for each affected region and business, working with employee representative bodies where required under local laws. (3) Consists of consulting fees and costs associated with contractual cancellations as well as other costs directly related to the restructuring program, including program management, accelerated depreciation and fixed asset write-offs.
