Restructuring

In 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s current and expected future revenues, the Company recorded a $26,547 restructuring charge primarily relating to the abandonment of leased office premises and employee severance charges.

Of the total recorded restructuring charges of $26,547, $11,152 was a non-cash charge (including $908 related to writing down certain property, plant and equipment) recorded as other operating expense, which pertains to the abandonment of various leased office premises as a result of the Company’s consolidation of underutilized office premises due to lower demand or shifting to a work-from-home model. The Company made efforts to sublease certain office premises instead of abandoning them, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the related widespread adoption of work-from-home practices by many businesses worldwide, the Company was unable to sublease such premises.

The Company also recorded a severance charge of $15,395, which was paid during the year ended December 31, 2020 related to a focused reduction in the Company's workforce.

In 2022, the Company implemented a flexible, hybrid global delivery model in line with the Company's long-term strategy that incorporates a mix of offshore, onshore, near-shore, and remote working. As a result, the Company determined that certain leases and employee roles were no longer needed.

27. Restructuring (Continued)

Accordingly, the Company recorded a $38,815 restructuring charge relating to the abandonment of leased office premises and an employee severance charge. Of the total charge of $38,815, $21,684 was a non-cash charge (including $1,377 related to writing down certain property, plant and equipment) recorded as other operating expense, which pertains to the abandonment of various leased office premises. The Company has sought out one or more third parties to sublease certain office premises from the Company, wherever applicable, instead of abandoning them. However, the Company has not been successful in such attempts, and the Company believes it is unlikely that it will be able to sublease such premises in the foreseeable future. The Company also recorded a severance charge of $17,131, which was paid during the year ended December 31, 2022 related to a focused reduction in the Company's workforce.
