Note 13.	Restructuring and Other Costs, Net

Restructuring and other costs in the first six months of 2018 included continuing charges for headcount reductions and facility consolidations in an effort to streamline operations, including the closure and consolidation of operations within several facilities in the U.S. and Europe; third-party transaction/integration costs related to the acquisition of Patheon; sales of inventories revalued at the date of acquisition; and net charges for litigation matters.
