In 2007, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $209 million primarily for severance costs related to
workforce reductions of 3,408 manufacturing and administrative positions mainly in our Automation and Control
Solutions and Aerospace segments. Also, $18 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance

changes in the scope of previously announced severance programs and due to fewer employee separations than
originally planned associated with prior severance programs.
In 2006, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $124 million primarily for severance costs related to
workforce reductions of 2,253 manufacturing and administrative positions across all of our segments. Also, $22
million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at our Aerospace, Transportation Systems and
Specialty Materials segments, were returned to income in 2006 due mainly to changes in the scope of previously
announced severance programs and due to fewer employee separations than originally planned associated with
prior Aerospace severance actions.
In 2005, we recognized repositioning charges totaling $267 million primarily for severance costs related to

third quarter of 2005) which reorganized our Aerospace businesses to better align with customer segments. Also,
$25 million of previously established accruals, primarily for severance at our Corporate, Specialty Materials and
Automation and Control Solutions segments were returned to income in 2005. The reversal of severance
