RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
 
In the fourth quarter of 2018 and the fourth quarter of 2016, we recorded $46.1 million ($35.0 million, net of tax) and $5.7 million ($3.7 million, net of tax) of restructuring charges, respectively, all of which were recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses on our Consolidated Statements of Income. These charges were recorded to general corporate expense and resulted from our continuing efforts to realign our internal resources to support the Company’s strategic objectives and increase the integration of our global operations. The 2018 restructuring charge primarily relates to a reduction in headcount. We paid $11.5 million of the 2018 restructuring charges in 2018 and the remaining payments will be completed in 2019.
The 2016 restructuring charge primarily relates to a reduction in headcount. Payments related to the 2016 restructuring charge were substantially completed in 2017.
