(c) | As more fully disclosed in Note 20 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in Exhibit 99.2 of this report, under a restructuring program developed by the Corporation in the fourth quarter of 2001, earnings from continuing operations for 2003, 2002, and 2001 include a restructuring charge of $20.6 million, $46.6 million, and $99.7 million before taxes, respectively ($14.9 million, $29.2 million, and $70.6 million after taxes, respectively). Those 2003, 2002, and 2001 pre-tax charges were net of reversals of $13.2 million, $11.0 million, and $4.1 million, respectively, representing reversals of previously provided restructuring reserves as well as the excess proceeds received on the sale of long-lived assets, written down as part of restructuring actions, over their adjusted carrying values. In addition, earnings from continuing operations for 2003 include a restructuring charge of $11.0 million before taxes ($7.2 million after taxes) associated with the closure of a manufacturing facility in its Hardware and Home Improvement segment as a result of the acquisition of the Baldwin and Weiser businesses. |
