Restructuring Charges | 9. RESTRUCTURING CHARGES During the past several years and through the current year quarter, we have carried out reductions in force related to the continued reorganization of our corporate and campus functions to better align with current total enrollments and made decisions to teach out a number of campuses, meaning gradually close the campuses through an orderly process. As part of the process to wind down these teach-out campuses, the Company also announced that it will align its corporate overhead to support a more streamlined and focused operating entity. Most notably, we have recorded charges within our Transitional Group segment and our corporate functions as we continue to align our overall management structure. Each of our teach-out campuses offer current students the reasonable opportunity to complete their course of study. The majority of these teach-out campuses are expected to cease operations by 2017 with the remainder expected to cease operations in 2018. The following table details the changes in our accrual for severance and related costs associated with all restructuring events for our continuing operations during the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 (dollars in thousands):
Severance and related expenses for the quarters and years to date ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 by reporting segment is as follows (dollars in thousands):
The current portion of the accrual for severance and related charges was $8.7 million and $1.4 million as of June 30, 2015 and June 30, 2014, respectively, which is recorded within current accrued expenses – payroll and related benefits; the long-term portion of $3.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, is recorded within other non-current liabilities. In addition, as of June 30, 2015, we have accrued approximately $0.9 million related to retention bonuses that have been offered to certain employees. These amounts will be recorded ratably over the period the employees are retained; $0.6 million was recorded during the quarter ended June 30, 2015. In addition to the severance charges detailed above, a number of the teach-out campuses will have remaining lease obligations following the eventual campus closure, with the longest lease term being through 2023. The total estimated charge for all restructuring events reported within continuing operations related to the remaining lease obligation for these leases, once the campus completes the close process, and adjusted for possible lease buyouts and sublease assumptions is approximately $32 million – $37 million, of which approximately $2.2 million was recorded during the current year quarter and year to date. The amount related to each campus will be recorded at each campus closure date based on current estimates and assumptions related to the amount and timing of sublease income. |
