Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs are generally expensed as incurred. All U.S. government unallowable restructuring costs related to the Raytheon Merger are recorded within Corporate expenses and other unallocated items, as these costs are not included in management’s evaluation of the segments’ performance, and as a result, there are no unallowable restructuring costs at the RIS and RMD segments. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $43 million for new and ongoing restructuring actions.

We recorded charges in the segments as follows:

(dollars in millions)	Quarter Ended March 31, 2021
Pratt & Whitney	$	20
Collins Aerospace Systems	18
Corporate expenses and other unallocated items	5
Total	$	43

Restructuring charges incurred during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 primarily relate to actions initiated during 2021 and 2020, and were recorded as follows:

(dollars in millions)	Quarter Ended March 31, 2021
Cost of sales	$	20
Selling, general and administrative	23
Total	$	43

2021 Actions. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs of $36 million, comprised of $21 million in Cost of sales and $15 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses. The 2021 actions primarily relate to ongoing cost reduction efforts including workforce reductions and the consolidation of facilities.

The following table summarizes the accrual balance and utilization for the 2021 restructuring actions for the quarter ended March 31, 2021:

We are targeting to complete the majority of the remaining workforce and facility related cost reduction actions during 2021 and 2022.

2020 Actions. During the quarter ended March 31, 2021, we recorded $4 million of net pre-tax restructuring costs for restructuring actions initiated in 2020 comprised of $6 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses and a reversal of $2 million in Cost of sales. The 2020 actions primarily relate to severance and restructuring actions at Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace in response to the impact on our operating results related to the current economic environment primarily caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the Raytheon Merger, and ongoing cost reduction efforts including workforce reductions and consolidation of field operations.
