Restructuring Costs

9. RESTRUCTURING COSTS

The Company has initiated restructuring actions to realign and lower its cost structure primarily through workforce reductions and other cost reduction initiatives at various facilities, including the cessation of manufacturing operations at the Joliet, Illinois; Statesville, North Carolina; and Guangzhou, China facilities. Much of the production capacity from these facilities has been shifted to other existing facilities or unaffiliated suppliers.

The Company’s net pretax restructuring charges, by segment, were as follows:

Employee-related costs include the expected severance costs and related benefits as well as one-time severance benefits that are accrued over the remaining period employees are required to work in order to receive such benefits.

Lease termination costs relate to the discounted cost of unused leased facilities, net of anticipated sub-rental income.

Fixed asset related costs include non-cash impairments or disposals of fixed assets associated with restructuring actions in addition to the cash costs to uninstall, pack, ship and reinstall manufacturing equipment and the costs to prepare the receiving facility to accommodate relocated equipment. These costs are expensed as incurred. Cash paid is net of proceeds received from the sale of related assets.

As a result of restructuring and consolidation actions, the Company owns unutilized real estate at various facilities in the U.S. and internationally. The Company is attempting to sell or lease this unutilized space. Additional impairment charges may be incurred related to these or other excess assets.

Additional pretax costs of approximately $1.0 million to $2.0 million are expected to complete these initiatives. Cash payments of approximately $4.0 million to $5.0 million are expected to be paid by the end of 2015 with additional payments of $8.0 million to $9.0 million to be paid between 2016 and 2022. Additional restructuring actions may be taken and the resulting charges and cash requirements could be material.
