. land fuels business, for total estimated proceeds of $42.8 million (the "Watson Fuels sale"). See Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

Aligned with these efforts, during the first quarter of 2025, we began a company-wide transformation initiative designed to further streamline our operating model and enhance organizational efficiency and effectiveness. As part of this initiative, we undertook cost management actions in response to the current and projected business needs, including the elimination of certain open positions and the closure of other roles, to better align the workforce with our current strategic priorities. As a result, we recognized restructuring charges of $15.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, composed principally of severance costs that could result in approximately $30 million in annualized compensation related savings. During 2025, we will continue to assess additional areas with the intent of completing the restructuring activities during the year. See Note 14. Restructuring and Exit Activities for additional information.

Reportable Segments

We operate in three reportable segments consisting of aviation, land, and marine. For additional discussion on our reportable segments, see "Reportable Segments" under Part I, Item 1 – Business in our 2024 10-K Report. Selected financial information with respect to our business segments is provided in Note 12. Business Segments.

Aviation Segment

Our aviation segment has benefited from growth in our fuel and related service offerings, as well as our enhanced logistics capabilities and the geographic expansion of our aviation fueling operations into additional international airport locations. Since 2023, we have successfully achieved higher returns in a high interest rate environment, driven in part by targeted improvements in working capital management consistent with our strategy to rationalize lower-return business activity.

In connection with our efforts to sharpen our portfolio of businesses and accelerate growth in our core businesses, we completed our sale of the Avinode Group and our portfolio of aviation FBO software products (the "Avinode sale") during the second quarter of 2024. See Note 3. Acquisitions and Divestitures for additional information.

Land Segment

In our land segment we continue to focus on improving asset utilization, leveraging the capabilities of our acquisitions, and realigning our operational platform. As discussed under "Restructuring and Exit Activities" above, in 2024 we decided to take actions to exit certain operations, including the rationalization of certain assets and associated personnel within our North American land business as well
