Cost Reduction Plan

Note 10. Cost Reduction Plan

On January 30, 2014, the Company announced a cost reduction plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) which resulted in the reduction of the Company’s overall headcount by approximately 260 employees. In connection with the Restructuring Plan, the Company recorded a liability of $10.0 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2014, consisting of costs for severance, employee-related benefits and other associated expenses. The remaining liability as of May 31, 2014 is $2.7 million, which includes $2.2 million in payments to be made related to ongoing business volume and $0.5 million in payments to be made related to the acquisition of the Rocketdyne Business.

The costs of the Restructuring Plan related to ongoing business volume of $4.8 million were recovered as a component of overhead in the second quarter of fiscal 2014. These restructuring costs were a component of the Company’s fiscal 2014 U.S. government forward pricing rates, and therefore, were recovered through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S. government.

The costs of the Restructuring Plan related to the acquisition of the Rocketdyne Business, $3.0 million as of May 31, 2014, have been capitalized and recorded in other noncurrent assets in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Such costs are reimbursable costs and will be allocated to the Company’s U.S. government contracts based on the Company’s planned integration savings exceeding its restructuring costs by a factor of at least two to one. The Company believes that the anticipated restructuring savings will exceed restructuring costs by a factor of at least two to one; therefore, the costs were deferred as the Company believes that subsequent recovery of said costs through the pricing of the Company’s products and services to the U.S. government is probable. The Company reviews on a quarterly basis the probability of recovery of these costs.
