Related to the foregoing, in the third quarter of 2026, we recorded $175 million of charges to be paid in cash, primarily related to contractual commitments related to those programs. As previously disclosed, we may incur additional expenses and cash expenditures related to these actions, which we now expect to be about $500 million (on a pre-tax basis).",
