Restructuring Activity
Restructuring Activity
The Company has implemented several restructuring plans over the last several years in an effort to adapt operations to market conditions. These restructuring plans included organizational changes, including workforce reductions and the consolidation of facilities in locations deemed to have redundant operations. The organizational changes and consolidations were part of the Company's overall plan to streamline the organizational structure, lower structural operating costs, and increase liquidity.
As a result of its restructuring activities, the Company incurred the following restructuring expenses:

(a) Employee termination and related benefits primarily consists of severance and pension related costs. Included in the year ended December 31, 2016 (Predecessor) was income of $1,973, which resulted from a reduction in an estimated pension withdrawal liability of $5,500 recorded in 2015.
In the year ended December 31, 2016 (Predecessor), the Company recorded charges of $452 for inventory moved from consolidated plants that was subsequently identified to be scrapped. The inventory charge is reported in cost of materials in the Consolidated Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Loss (Income) for the year ended December 31, 2016 (Predecessor).
In the first quarter of 2016, the Company closed its Houston and Edmonton facilities and sold all the equipment at these facilities to an unrelated third party. Restructuring activities associated with the strategic decision to close these facilities included employee termination and related benefits, lease termination costs, moving costs associated with exit from the closed facilities, and professional fees at the closed facilities.
As all of the previously announced restructuring activities are complete, the Company recorded no restructuring expenses in the period September 1, 2017 through December 31, 2017 (Successor).

(a) As of December 31, 2017 (Successor), the short-term employee termination and related benefits of $340 is included in accrued payroll and employee benefits in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the long-term liability of $3,167 associated with the Company's withdrawal from a multi-employer pension plan is included in other non-current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(b) Payments on certain of the lease obligations are scheduled to continue until 2020. Market conditions and the Company’s ability to sublease these properties could affect the ultimate charge related to the lease obligations. Any potential recoveries or additional charges could affect amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements of future periods. As of December 31, 2017 (Successor), the short-term portion of the lease termination costs of $304 is included in accrued and other current liabilities and the long-term portion of the lease termination costs of $258 is included in other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
(c) Included in charges (gains) for the year ended December 31, 2016 (Predecessor) is income of $1,973 that resulted from a reduction in an estimated pension withdrawal liability of $5,500 recorded in the year ended December 31, 2015 (Predecessor).
(d) In connection with the closure of the Company's Houston and Edmonton facilities, the Company agreed to sell its fixed assets and to a reduction in future proceeds from the sale of inventory in exchange for the assignment of its remaining lease obligations at its Houston facility resulting in a non-cash charge of $2,287 during the year ended December 31, 2016 (Predecessor).
