The Company’s Board of Directors approves all major restructuring programs that involve the discontinuance of product lines or the shutdown of facilities.  From time to time, the Company takes additional restructuring actions, including involuntary terminations that are not part of a major program.  The Company accounts for these costs in the period that the individual employees are notified or the liability is incurred.  These costs are included in restructuring and other charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

 

On July 30, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized the initiation of a restructuring program with respect to our European operations to reduce our European manufacturing footprint by approximately 10%, improve organizational and operational efficiency and better align costs with expected revenues in response to changing market conditions.  The restructuring program (‘2013 Actions’) is expected to include a pre-tax charge to earnings totaling approximately $14.0 million, approximately $9.8 million of which is expected to be recorded through fiscal 2014 and the remainder of which is expected to be recorded during fiscal 2015.  This total charge is expected to include costs for severance benefits, relocation, clean-up, professional fees and certain asset write-downs.  The total net after-tax charge for the restructuring program is expected to be approximately $10.0 million.  The restructuring program is expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015.  Certain aspects of the restructuring program are subject to further analysis and determinations by local management and consultation and negotiation with various workers’ councils.

 

The Company also periodically initiates other actions which are not part of a major program.  In 2011, 2012 and the first nine months of 2013, the Company initiated restructuring activities in Europe and North America to relocate certain manufacturing activities.  Total expected costs are $4.4 million, including severance and relocation costs. The net after tax charge of $3.1 million will be incurred through mid-2014.

Adjustment to gain on disposal of business. During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the Company recorded a charge of $1.6 million related to an adjustment to the gain on disposal of Tianjin Watts Valve Company Ltd. (TWVC) within the Asia segment. In 2011, the Company had sold its equity ownership and remaining assets of TWVC and recognized a net pre-tax gain of $7.7 million and an after-tax gain of approximately $11.4 million relating mainly to the recognition of a cumulative translation adjustment and a tax benefit related to the reversal of a tax claw back in China. This gain was adjusted in 2012.
