Restructuring and Separation Costs

J. RESTRUCTURING AND SEPARATION COSTS

We have taken various actions during Fiscal 2016 in response to challenging conditions primarily in the oil and gas markets.  In the third quarter of Fiscal 2016, we incurred approximately $0.4 million of separation costs as we continued to align our workforce with future production requirements. Additionally in the third quarter of Fiscal 2016, we incurred approximately $0.3 million of restructuring costs related to a leased Canadian facility that we exited in the third quarter of Fiscal 2015.

In the third quarter of Fiscal 2015, we incurred $1.4 million of restructuring and separation costs.  Of this, $0.8 million were restructuring costs related to the termination of a Canadian facility lease and the write-off of associated leasehold improvements.  The remaining $0.6 million were separation costs due to additional headcount reductions in Canada and certain U.S. operations as we responded to market conditions at the time and aligned our workforce with future production requirements.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2016, we incurred approximately $7.7 million in restructuring and separation costs, of which $3.8 million were separation costs related to the departure of our former Chief Executive Officer in December 2015. Of the $7.7 million in restructuring and separation costs recorded in Fiscal 2016, $5.3 million has been paid and the remaining $2.4 million will be paid over the next fifteen months.

For the nine months ended June 30, 2015, we incurred $2.7 million in restructuring and separation costs. Of this, $1.9 million was from separation costs, and the remaining $0.8 million resulted from the termination of a Canadian facility lease and the write-off of associated leasehold improvements.
