2019 Actions. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs of $115 million, comprised of $43 million in cost of sales and $72 million in selling, general and administrative expenses. The 2019 actions relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of field and manufacturing operations.

We are targeting to complete the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions during 2019 and 2020. No specific plans for other significant actions have been finalized at this time.
