Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]


Note 12			Company Restructuring

The Company undertakes various programs to reduce expenses. These programs generally involve a reduction in staffing levels, and in certain cases, office closures. Restructuring and related charges primarily include the following costs related to these programs:

•Employee - severance and relocation benefits

•Exit - contract termination penalties and real estate costs primarily related to accelerated amortization of right-of-use assets and related leasehold improvements at facilities to be vacated

The expenses related to these activities are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations as restructuring and related charges and totaled $10 million and $27 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.

Restructuring expenses during the first quarter of 2024 primarily relate to implementing actions to streamline the organization and outsource operations, and real estate costs related to facilities being vacated. The Company continues to identify ways to improve operating efficiency and reduce cost which may result in additional restructuring charges in the future.
