Restructuring and Exit Costs

2017 Restructuring Plans

In September 2017, the Company initiated a restructuring plan to optimize headcount in connection with the acquisition and integration of the assets and business of Nesscap, as well as to implement additional organizational efficiencies. Total charges for the September 2017 restructuring plan were approximately $1.2 million, and were primarily incurred in 2017. Total net charges for the three months ended March 31, 2018 for the September 2017 restructuring plan were $(57,000), which represented restructuring charges of $45,000 adjusted for reversals of expense of $102,000.

In February 2017, the Company implemented a comprehensive restructuring plan that included a wide range of organizational efficiency initiatives and other cost reduction opportunities. Total charges for the restructuring plan were approximately $0.9 million; the plan was completed in the third quarter of 2017. For the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recorded $1.0 million of restructuring charges for the February 2017 restructuring plan. Cash payments for the three months ended March 31, 2017 for the February 2017 restructuring plan were approximately $0.3 million.

The charges related to both of the 2017 restructuring plans consist of employee severance costs and have been or will be paid in cash. The charges were recorded within “restructuring and exit costs” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Adjustment to Lease Liability

In 2015 and 2016, the Company completed a restructuring plan that consolidated U.S. manufacturing operations and disposed of the Company’s microelectronics product line. In connection with this plan, in June 2015, the Company ceased use of approximately 60,000 square feet of its Peoria, AZ manufacturing facility, and determined this leased space would have no future economic benefit to the Company based on the business forecast. In the third quarter of 2017, the Company recognized additional facilities costs of $0.2 million as restructuring charges to record an adjustment to the sublease income assumption included in the estimated future rent obligation of this leased space. The Company has recorded a liability for the future rent obligation associated with this space, net of estimated sublease income, in accordance with ASC Topic 420. As of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, lease obligation liabilities related to this leased space of $0.6 million and $0.7 million, respectively, were included in “accounts payable and accrued liabilities” and “other long term liabilities” in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
