Restructuring Charges

During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, we eliminated 327 positions as we continued the transition to our new segment operating model and continued to leverage our shared services cost structure. We also incurred additional direct and incremental costs related to lease abandonments, as well as revising a lease abandonment estimate because we secured a sub-tenant much earlier than anticipated. We expect to continue to incur costs related to these and other similar activities in future periods, resulting in additional restructuring charges.

During the nine months ended August 31, 2016, we recorded approximately $23.9 million of restructuring charges for these activities. Of these charges, approximately $12.7 million was recorded in the Resources segment, $4.8 million was recorded in the Transportation segment, and $6.5 million was recorded in the CMS segment.

As of August 31, 2016, approximately $6.6 million of the remaining restructuring liability was in the Resources segment, approximately $4.0 million was in the Transportation segment, and approximately $2.6 million was in the CMS segment. Approximately $10.4 million of the balance is expected to be paid within the next 12 months; the remaining amount relates to lease abandonments that will be paid over the remaining lease periods through 2021.
