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 and nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs totaling $19 million and $118 million, respectively, for new and ongoing restructuring actions.

We recorded charges in the segments as follows:

(dollars in millions)	Quarter Ended September 30, 2021		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Pratt & Whitney	$	2	$	6
Collins Aerospace Systems	2		32
Corporate expenses and other unallocated items	15		80
Total	$	19	$	118

Restructuring charges incurred during the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2021 primarily relate to actions initiated during 2021 and 2020, and were recorded as follows:

(dollars in millions)	Quarter Ended September 30, 2021		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021
Cost of sales	$	4	$	25
Selling, general and administrative	15		93
Total	$	19	$	118

2021 Actions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs of $12 million, comprised of $5 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses and $7 million in Cost of sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recorded net pre-tax restructuring costs of $113 million, comprised of $81 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses and $32 million in Cost of sales. The 2021 actions primarily consist of severance costs related to ongoing cost reduction efforts, and to a much lesser extent, the exit and consolidation of facilities.

The following table summarizes the accrual balance and utilization for the 2021 restructuring actions for the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

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

2020 Actions. During the quarter ended September 30, 2021, we recorded a net $1 million of pre-tax restructuring costs for restructuring actions initiated in 2020, comprised of $7 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses and a reversal of $6 million in Cost of sales. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we reversed $19 million net pre-tax restructuring costs for restructuring actions initiated in 2020, including a reversal of $5 million in Selling, general and administrative expenses and a reversal of $14 million in Cost of sales. The 2020 actions primarily consist of severance costs principally related to restructuring actions at Pratt & Whitney and Collins Aerospace in response to the impact on our operating results related to the economic environment primarily caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, actions at Corporate related to the Raytheon Merger, and ongoing cost reduction efforts including workforce reductions, and to a lesser extent, consolidation of field operations.
