Restructuring and Separation Costs

J. RESTRUCTURING AND SEPARATION COSTS

We have taken various actions during Fiscal 2016 in response to challenging conditions in the oil and gas markets.  In the second quarter of Fiscal 2016, we incurred $3.3 million of separation costs as we continued to restructure our senior management team and align our salaried and hourly workforce with future production requirements.  In the first quarter of Fiscal 2016, we incurred $3.8 million of restructuring costs due to the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer in December 2015. Of the $7.1 million in restructuring and separation costs expensed in the six months ended March 31, 2016, $3.5 million has been paid and the remaining $3.6 million will be paid over the next nine months. In the second quarter of Fiscal 2015, we incurred $1.3 million of restructuring and separation costs.
