2022 Restructuring

In 2022, we initiated several measures to pursue greater efficiency and to realign our business and strategic priorities. These measures included a facilities consolidation strategy to sublease, early terminate, or abandon several office buildings under operating leases, a layoff of approximately 11,000 employees across the Family of Apps (FoA) and Reality Labs (RL) segments, and a pivot towards a next generation data center design, including cancellation of multiple data center projects (the 2022 Restructuring). We completed the data center initiatives and employee layoff in 2023. As of September 30, 2024, we have substantially completed the facilities consolidation initiatives.

A summary of our 2022 Restructuring pre-tax charges, including subsequent adjustments, is as follows (in millions):
