Item 2.05        Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

On June 11, 2019, Lannett Company, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a restructuring plan (the “Cody API Restructuring Plan”) with respect to its wholly-owned subsidiary Cody Laboratories, Inc. (“Cody Labs”).  In September 2018, the Company approved a plan to sell the active pharmaceutical ingredient manufacturing distribution business of Cody Labs (the “Cody API business”).  The Company has been unable to sell the Cody API business as an ongoing operation and now intends to sell the equipment and real estate utilized by the Cody API business and to have Cody Labs cease all operations.  In connection with the Cody API Restructuring Plan, there will be a reduction of all remaining 70 positions at Cody Labs.  The Company expects that the actions contemplated under the Cody API Restructuring Plan will be substantially completed by September 30, 2019.

 

The Company currently estimates that it will incur approximately $5.0 million of total costs to implement the Cody API Restructuring Plan, including approximately $2.5 million of severance and employee-related costs and approximately $2.0 million of contract termination costs, as well as approximately $0.5 million of costs to be incurred in connection with moving equipment and other property to other Company-owned facilities that were originally anticipated to be incurred in connection with the Cody Restructuring Plan announced in June 2018 but that have not yet been incurred thereunder.  In addition, the Company will incur non-cash impairment charges in connection with the Cody API Restructuring Plan relating to the facility, equipment and other plant-related assets currently utilized by Cody Labs, as more fully discussed in Item 2.06 below.

 

This Item 2.05 contains forward-looking statements, including information regarding the Cody API Restructuring Plan.  These forward-looking statements are based on the Company’s current expectations and inherently involve significant risks and uncertainties.  The Company’s actual results and the timing of events could differ materially from those anticipated in such forward-looking statements as a result of these risks and uncertainties.  A further description of the risks and uncertainties relating to the business of the Company is contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, filed with Securities and Exchange Commission (“Commission”) on August 28, 2018, and the Company’s subsequent current and periodic reports filed with the Commission.  The Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update any forward-looking statements contained in this Item 2.05 as a result of new information, future events or changes in expectations.

 

Item 2.06        Material Impairments

 

As a result of the Cody API Restructuring Plan, as more fully discussed in Item 2.05 above, the Company has determined that there will be an impairment of the facility, equipment and other plant-related assets currently utilized by Cody Labs of up to $6 million.  This impairment is in addition to the $29.9 million impairment charge incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2019 when the plan to sell the Cody API business was first approved.  This impairment will result in a noncash charge to earnings in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2019 and has no impact on the Company’s financial covenant leverage ratio.  These non-cash impairment charges are in addition to the restructuring costs referenced in Item 2.05 above.
