Note 2: Restructuring

 

During fiscal 2014, we committed to a restructuring of our casegoods business to transition to an all-import model for our wood furniture. We ceased casegoods manufacturing operations at our Hudson, North Carolina facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result of this restructuring, we transitioned our remaining Kincaid and American Drew bedroom product lines to imported product and exited the hospitality business as we manufactured those products in our Hudson facility. We have transitioned our warehouse and repair functions from two North Wilkesboro, North Carolina facilities to Hudson. In addition, we sold both of the North Wilkesboro facilities and most of the wood-working equipment from our Hudson plant during the first nine months of fiscal 2015.

 

We have recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $7.0 million ($4.5 million after tax) since the inception of this restructuring plan, with $3.7 million pre-tax ($2.4 million after tax) related to continuing operations and $3.3 million pre-tax ($2.1 million after tax) related to discontinued operations. These charges relate to severance and benefit-related costs and various asset write-downs, including fixed assets, inventory and tradenames. During the quarter and nine months ended January 24, 2015, we recorded pre-tax restructuring income of $0.8 million and $1.1 million, respectively, ($0.5 million and $0.7 million after tax, respectively), mainly related to gains realized on the sale of the North Wilkesboro warehouse in the third quarter, as well as inventory recoveries. This income was slightly offset by severance and benefit related costs, as well as rent expense related to an idled showroom.

 

We had $0.3 million of restructuring liability remaining as of January 24, 2015, primarily related to severance, which we expect to be settled throughout fiscal 2016. We included restructuring charges related to discontinued operations in our income (loss) from discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of income.
