reporting date, the Company evaluates its accruals for exit costs and employee separation costs to ensure the
accruals are still appropriate. In certain circumstances, accruals are no longer required because of efficiencies in
carrying out the plans or because employees previously identified for separation resigned from the Company and
did not receive severance or were redeployed due to circumstances not foreseen when the original plans were
initiated. The Company reverses accruals through the income statement line item where the original charges were
recorded when it is determined they are no longer required.
2007 Charges
During 2007, the Company committed to implement various productivity improvement plans aimed at
achieving long-term, sustainable profitability by driving efficiencies and reducing operating costs. All three of the
Company’s business segments, as well as corporate functions, are impacted by these plans. The majority of the
employees affected are located in North America and Europe. The Company recorded net reorganization of
business charges of $394 million, including $104 million of charges in Costs of sales and $290 million of charges
under Other charges (income) in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. Included in the aggregate
$394 million are charges of $401 million for employee separation costs, $42 million for fixed asset impairment
charges and $19 million for exit costs, offset by reversals for accruals no longer needed.
