The net costs included $27 million recorded in cost of sales, $25 million in selling, general and administrative expenses, and ($2) million in discontinued operations. As described below, these costs primarily relate to actions initiated during 2013 and 2012.
2013 Actions. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we initiated restructuring actions relating to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of field operations. We recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $20 million, including $6 million in cost of sales and $14 million in selling, general and administrative expenses.
We expect the actions initiated in the three months ended March 31, 2013 to result in net workforce reductions of approximately 300 hourly and salaried employees, the exiting of approximately 200,000 net square feet of facilities and the disposal of assets associated with exited facilities. As of March 31, 2013, we have completed net workforce reductions of approximately 150 employees. We are targeting the majority of the remaining workforce and all facility related cost reduction actions for completion during 2013 and 2014. No specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time.

2012 Actions. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $29 million for restructuring actions initiated in 2012, including $20 million in cost of sales and $9 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. The 2012 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of field operations.
As of March 31, 2013, we have completed net workforce reductions of approximately 5,500 employees of an expected 7,100 employees, and have exited approximately 1.4 million net square feet of facilities of an expected 2.7 million net square feet. We are targeting the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions for completion during 2013 and 2014.
