Jan. 02, 2016

Restructuring costs for the three months ended January 2, 2016, incurred primarily in the AMER segment, relate largely to the Company's closure of its manufacturing facility in Fremont, California as a result of the Company’s optimization of its capacity to meet customer demand due to changing end-market dynamics. The Company also recorded restructuring costs in the EMEA segment related to the partial closure of its Livingston, Scotland facility to align with reduced end-market demand, particularly in the oil and gas industry. These charges are recorded within "Restructuring charges" on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. Restructuring liabilities are recorded within "Other accrued liabilities" on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

For the three months ended January 2, 2016, the Company incurred restructuring costs of $1.5 million, which consisted of $1.4 million of employee termination and severance costs, primarily related to the Company's workforce in Fremont and Livingston, and $0.1 million of other exit costs.

Restructuring costs for the three months ended January 3, 2015 related to the relocation of manufacturing operations from Juarez, Mexico to Guadalajara, Mexico.
