Restructuring of Operations
Restructuring of Operations

Our restructuring activities primarily include rationalizing our operating footprint by consolidating facilities, positioning operations in lower cost locations and reducing overhead costs. Restructuring expense includes costs associated with current and previously announced actions and is comprised of contractual and noncontractual separation costs and exit costs, including costs associated with lease continuation obligations and certain operating costs of facilities that we are in the process of closing.

During the second quarter of 2014, we continued to implement certain headcount reduction programs, including those associated with the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry operation in Argentina. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the second quarter of 2014 was $3, including $1 of severance and related benefit costs and $2 of exit costs.



Restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2014 was also primarily associated with the closure of our Commercial Vehicle foundry operation in Argentina. Including costs associated with this action and with other previously announced initiatives, restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2014 was $9, including $7 of severance and related benefit costs and $2 of exit costs.

During the second quarter of 2013, we implemented certain headcount reduction initiatives, primarily in our Light Vehicle and Commercial Vehicle businesses in Argentina and Australia. New customer programs and other developments in our North American Light Vehicle business and a decision by our European Off-Highway business to in-source the manufacturing of certain parts resulted in the reversal of previously accrued severance obligations. Restructuring expense of $4, net of the aforementioned reversals, during the second quarter of 2013 was attributable to newly implemented and previously announced initiatives and included $3 of severance and related benefit costs and $1 of exit costs.

Excluding $1 of costs associated with discontinued operations and attributable to exit costs, restructuring expense during the first quarter of 2013 was $2, all of which was attributable to exit costs associated with previously announced initiatives.

At June 30, 2014, the accrued employee termination benefits relate to the reduction of approximately 200 employees to be completed over the next three years. The exit costs relate primarily to lease continuation obligations. We estimate cash expenditures to approximate $8 during the remainder of 2014 and $13 thereafter.

The future cost to complete includes estimated separation costs, primarily those associated with one-time benefit programs, and exit costs, including lease continuation costs, equipment transfers and other costs which are required to be recognized as closures are finalized or as incurred during the closure.
