Restructuring and Acquisition-Related Charges

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we incurred restructuring and acquisition-related charges of $147.7 million and $25.9 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, EMC incurred $81.7 million of restructuring charges, primarily related to our current year restructuring programs and $1.9 million of charges in connection with acquisitions for financial advisory, legal and accounting services. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, VMware incurred $53.8 million of restructuring charges related to workforce reductions as part of its current year restructuring program, $9.0 million of impairment charges related to its business realignment and $1.3 million of charges in connection with acquisitions for financial advisory, legal and accounting services. For the three months ended March 31, 2012, we incurred $24.2 million of restructuring charges, primarily related to our 2012 restructuring programs and $1.7 million of costs in connection with acquisitions for financial advisory, legal and accounting services.

In the first quarter of 2013, EMC implemented restructuring programs to create further operational efficiencies which will result in a workforce reduction of 1,004 positions. The actions will impact positions around the globe covering our Information Storage, RSA Information Security and Information Intelligence Group segments, and is expected to result in a total charge of approximately $80.0 million, with total cash payments associated with the plan expected to be approximately $73.0 million. All of these actions are expected to be completed within a year of the start of each program.

In the first quarter of 2013, VMware implemented a plan to streamline its operations in order to focus its business on strategic areas it has determined to be most compelling. The plan includes the elimination of approximately 800 positions across all major functional groups and geographies, and is expected to result in a charge in the range of $60.0 million to $65.0 million, of which $53.8 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013. Additionally, VMware exited and is planning to exit certain lines of business and consolidate facilities, which is expected to result in a total charge, including asset impairments, in the range of $15.0 million to $25.0 million, of which $9.0 million was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2013. All of these actions are expected to be completed by the end of 2013. The total cash expenditures associated with the plan are expected to be in the range of $60.0 million to $75.0 million. The associated cash payments are expected to be paid out primarily through the end of 2013.

During 2012, we implemented separate restructuring programs to create further operational efficiencies which resulted in a workforce reduction of 1,163 positions, of which 298 positions were identified in the three months ended March 31, 2012. The actions impacted positions around the globe covering our Information Storage, RSA Information Security and Information Intelligence Group segments. All of these actions are expected to be completed by the end of 2013.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, we recognized $7.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of lease termination costs for facilities vacated in the period in accordance with our plan as part of all of our restructuring programs and for costs associated with terminating other contractual obligations. These costs are expected to be utilized by the end of 2015.
