September 2020 Plan

In September 2020, we initiated a restructuring plan focused on optimizing our manufacturing footprint and improving operational efficiency by better utilizing our systems capabilities (the "September 2020 Plan"). This plan includes transitioning certain administrative

functions to a shared service center, realignment of manufacturing locations, and certain other efficiency improvement actions. The restructuring cost of the September 2020 Plan is estimated to be in the range of $4,000 to $4,200, including workforce reduction charges, building and equipment relocation charges and other contract and asset-related costs. We have incurred $3,912 in program costs to date and expect the September 2020 Plan to be completed during the second quarter of 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we recorded $7 in workforce reduction costs and $9 in building and equipment relocation charges under the 2020 Plan. There is no restructuring liability associated with these actions as of March 31, 2024. The total restructuring liability associated with these actions was $83 as of December 31, 2023.

Closure and Consolidation of Juarez Manufacturing Facility and Operations

During the first quarter of 2023, we announced the shutdown of our Juarez manufacturing facility. As a part of this activity, operations from the Juarez plant are being consolidated into our expanded Matamoros facility (collectively, the “Matamoros Consolidation”). We expect the Matamoros Consolidation to be completed later this year. The total restructuring cost of the Matamoros Consolidation is now estimated to be in the range of $4,750 and $5,500, including workforce reduction charges, building and equipment relocation charges and other contract and asset-related costs. The total restructuring costs incurred as part of the Matamoros Consolidation are $4,687. In addition to these charges, we expect to incur an additional $1,200 and $2,000 of other costs relating to the Matamoros Consolidation that would not qualify as restructuring charges, but represent duplicative expenses arising from the transition process, such as excess rent, utilities, personnel-related expenses and other costs. We have incurred $1,051 in other costs relating to the Matamoros Consolidation.

During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we incurred $988 in restructuring costs associated with the Matamoros Consolidation, comprised of $215, $751, and $22 in workforce reduction, building and equipment relocation costs, and asset impairment and other charges, respectively. We also incurred $480 in other related costs. The restructuring liability associated with the Matamoros Consolidation was $204 and $194 as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Other Restructuring Activities

During the period ended March 31, 2024, we incurred total other restructuring charges of $689, comprised of $385, $286, and $18 in workforce reduction, building and equipment relocation costs, and asset impairment and other charges, respectively. The workforce reduction charges incurred are for restructuring activities used to adjust our business in response to reduced demand across certain locations and products. Restructuring charges incurred in relation to building and equipment relocation costs and other charges are for activities intended to consolidate operations across our site locations. The remaining liability associated with our other restructuring actions was $467 and $246 at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

The following table displays the restructuring liability activity included in accrued expenses and other liabilities for all plans for the three months ended March 31, 2024:
