2021 Restructuring Plan

On September 8, 2021, the Company committed to a new restructuring plan that continues to focus on efforts to improve efficiencies and decrease costs across its worldwide operations. The plan involves a reduction of approximately 188 employees and the closure of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Thailand at the end of the first quarter of 2022. As a result of this plan, the Company expects to incur pre-tax restructuring charges between the third quarter of 2021 and the fourth quarter of 2022 of approximately $4 million to $5 million. The expected charges are comprised of severance expenses ($2.2 million), retention bonuses ($0.5 million), and asset impairment and other charges ($2.0 million). The retention costs of approximately $0.5 million will be recognized through the end of fiscal year 2022 as earned over the requisite service periods. Restructuring charges of $3.9 million comprised of severance and asset impairment charges were recognized during the third quarter of 2021.

The restructuring plan is expected to result in future cash expenditures of approximately $3 million to $4 million for payment of the employee severance, employee retention bonuses and other costs of the shutdown of the Thailand manufacturing facility, as described above. The Company expects to complete the restructuring plan in fiscal year 2022 and expects the plan to yield annualized savings of approximately $1.7 million. A portion of the annualized savings is expected to be realized on the income statement in fiscal year 2022, with the remaining portion of the annualized savings expected to be realized in fiscal year 2023.

2019 Restructuring Plan

On December 23, 2019, the Company committed to a new restructuring plan that continues to focus on efforts to improve efficiencies and decrease costs across its worldwide operations, and more closely align its operating structure with its business strategy. The plan involved a reduction of approximately 105 employees and early termination of two office leases. As a result of this plan, the Company recorded a pre-tax restructuring charge in the fourth quarter of 2019 of approximately $9.0 million. The charge was comprised of severance expenses ($8.8 million) and lease exit costs ($0.2 million).

The restructuring plan was expected to result in cash expenditures of approximately $9.0 million for payment of the employee severance and lease exit costs, as described above. The Company expects to complete the restructuring plan in fiscal year 2021 and expects the plan to yield annualized savings of approximately $6.0 million. A portion of the annualized savings was realized on the income statement in fiscal year 2020, with the remaining portion of the annualized savings expected to be realized in fiscal year 2021.
