RESTRUCTURING CHARGES
The Company incurred restructuring charges of approximately $3.6 million, $3.4 million and $4.8 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively. In 2014, restructuring expense included reversals of non-cash equity compensation expense of approximately $0.03 million. In each of 2013 and 2012, restructuring expense included net non-cash compensation expense of approximately $0.1 million. Of the amounts charged to restructuring expense during 2014, approximately $2.0 million were payable as of December 31, 2014. The Company expects to use cash of $1.7 million in 2015 and $0.3 million in 2016 to relieve this liability.
In 2014, total restructuring charges included $2.7 million incurred in the Publishing segment in connection with the Company's partnership with Meredith (see Note 1, The Company, for further information). These Publishing segment restructuring charges primarily consisted of $1.6 million in employee severance and other employee-related termination costs, as well as $1.1 million in contract termination costs. The Company does not expect to incur significant additional charges in the future associated with this Publishing segment restructuring. The Company also incurred restructuring charges of $0.9 million in the Merchandising segment and Corporate, which primarily consisted of employee severance costs.
In 2013 and 2012, the Company incurred restructuring charges associated with a significant reorganization of its Publishing business. In 2012, the Company also incurred restructuring charges associated with significant changes in its Broadcasting business, as well as charges related to the departure of the Company's then-current President and Chief Executive Officer. In each of 2013 and 2012, restructuring charges primarily consisted of employee severance and other employee-related termination costs.
