Highlight of Business Operations:
The decline in revenue contributed to a consolidated operating profit decline of 22% in the second quarter of 2009, as compared with the same period of 2008. This year-over-year decline also reflects the adverse impact of higher restructuring charges (10%) and the negative impact of foreign currency translation combined with currency hedges at P&WC (combined 7%). To help mitigate the impact of the global economic downturn and better position us for the future, we continue to focus on restructuring and cost reduction actions. During the second quarter of 2009, we incurred restructuring charges of $301 million for actions to help mitigate the volume declines and to reduce structural and overhead costs across all of the businesses. We expect full year restructuring costs to total approximately $750 million, including the $464 million of charges incurred in the first six months of 2009. However, no specific plans for significant other actions have been finalized at this time. In addition to savings from restructuring, we are seeing benefits from other cost reductions, in areas such as travel, furloughs, research and development and employee attrition. This continued focus on costs that are within our control, including restructuring, has resulted in approximately $550 million of discrete cost reductions in the first six months of 2009.Our growth strategy contemplates acquisitions.
