Severance and Related Costs

NOTE 11. SEVERANCE AND RELATED COSTS

During the first quarter of 2016, we recorded $2.4 million in Unallocated Corporate for severance and related costs as a result of our initiative to separate our flooring business from our ceiling business.  These costs, along with costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2015, reflect approximately 30 position eliminations (including our former Chief Executive Officer) and are reflected within Separation costs on the statement of earnings.

In response to China market conditions, during the fourth quarter of 2015 we recorded $2.0 million in cost of goods sold and $0.9 million in SG&A for severance and related costs related to the idling one of our plants in China effective during the fourth quarter of 2016. During the second quarter of 2016, we recorded an additional $3.0 million in cost of goods sold for severance and related costs related to the plant idling.
