CONDENSED NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
1. CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The unaudited consolidated financial information for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 reflect, in the opinion of company management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the financial position, results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), equity and cash flows of Ecolab Inc. ("Ecolab" or "the Company") for the interim periods presented. Any adjustments consist of normal recurring items.
The financial results for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. The consolidated balance sheet data as of December 31, 2018 was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The unaudited consolidated financial information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto incorporated in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Sales, cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the selected consolidated income statement information includes immaterial revisions to amounts previously reported in the Company’s quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for each of the first three quarters of 2018. The revisions had no impact on previously reported total net sales or operating income. Except for the changes due to the adoption of the new accounting standards, the Company has consistently applied the accounting policies to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
Upstream Energy Spin-off
Ecolab intends to pursue, subject to the receipt of approval by Ecolab’s Board of Directors and any regulatory approvals, a plan to separate and spin-off the Upstream businesses of Ecolab’s Global Energy segment (the Upstream Business) through a series of tax-efficient transactions (collectively, the Spin-off). Under the plan, if effectuated, Ecolab’s shareholders would own 100% of the common stock of a new corporation that owns the Upstream Business. The Spin-off is expected to be completed in 2020 and is intended to qualify as a tax-free distribution to Ecolab shareholders for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
With respect to the unaudited financial information of the Company for the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 included in this Form 10-Q, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP reported that they have applied limited procedures in accordance with professional standards for a review of such information. Their separate report dated May 2, 2019 appearing herein states that they did not audit and they do not express an opinion on that unaudited financial information. Accordingly, the degree of reliance on their report on such information should be restricted in light of the limited nature of the review procedures applied. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP is not subject to the liability provisions of Section 11 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), for their report on the unaudited financial information because that report is not a "report" or a "part" of a registration statement prepared or certified by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP within the meaning of Sections 7 and 11 of the Act.

Restructuring activities
Restructuring activities are primarily related to Accelerate 2020 (described below). These activities have been included as a component of both cost of sales and special (gains) and charges on the Consolidated Statement of Income. Restructuring liabilities have been classified as a component of both other current and other noncurrent liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
Accelerate 2020
During the third quarter of 2018, the Company formally commenced a restructuring plan Accelerate 2020 (“the Plan”), to leverage technology and systems investments and organizational changes. During the first quarter of 2019, the Company raised its goals for the Plan to simplify and automate processes and tasks, reduce complexity and management layers, consolidate facilities and focus on key long-term growth areas by leveraging technology and structural improvements. The Company now expects that the restructuring activities will be completed by the end of 2020, with total anticipated costs of $260 million ($190 million after tax) over this period of time. The costs are expected to be primarily cash expenditures for severance costs and some facility closure costs relating to team reorganizations. Actual costs may vary from these estimates depending on actions taken.
The Company recorded restructuring charges of $40.5 million ($30.4 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2019. The liability related to this Plan was $81.4 million as of the end of the first quarter. The Company has recorded $145.1 million ($110.0 million after tax) of cumulative restructuring charges under the Plan.
Restructuring activity related to the Plan since inception of the underlying actions includes the following:
