2012 Restructuring Initiative

The Corporation focuses on being the low-cost provider of its products by reducing operating costs and implementing lean manufacturing initiatives, which have in part led to the involuntary termination of certain positions and the consolidation of facilities and product lines.

The components of the restructuring costs by segment are as follows:

In the first six months of 2012, the Flow Control segment recorded $2.7 million of restructuring charges primarily for severance and benefits costs associated with headcount reductions to streamline operations. The segment recorded charges to Cost of sales of $1.3 million; charges to Selling expenses of $0.3 million; and charges to General and administrative expenses of $1.1 million.

The Corporation expects to incur additional restructuring charges of $2 million related to our 2012 restructuring activities within the Flow Control segment.

The cash costs were primarily associated with severance and benefits costs related to headcount reductions, while the $4.8 million of non-cash costs were primarily related to fixed asset write-downs.
