SEVERANCE COSTS
SEVERANCE COSTS

As part of our continuing review of our operations, actions were taken during 2016, 2015 and 2014 to respond to market conditions. We recorded charges related to severance and early retirement programs of $8 million, $12 million and $27 million for the years ended December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and were primarily paid when incurred. Such 2016 charges are reflected in the consolidated statement of operations in selling, general and administrative expenses and cost of sales, while 2015 and 2014 charges are principally reflected in selling, general and administrative expenses.
