Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

In the third quarter of 2019, the Company’s management approved a global restructuring plan (the “QH Program”) as part of its initial plan to realize certain cost synergies associated with the Combination. As of December 31, 2022, the Company substantially completed all of the initiatives under the QH Program with only an immaterial amount of remaining severance still to be paid, which has been paid as of September 30, 2023.

In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company’s management initiated a global cost and optimization program to improve its cost structure and drive a more profitable and productive organization. As of September 30, 2023, the program included restructuring and associated severance costs to reduce headcount by approximately 100 positions globally. These headcount reductions began in the fourth quarter of 2022 and are expected to continue throughout 2023. The exact timing to complete all actions and final costs associated will depend on a number of factors that are subject to change.

Employee separation benefits vary depending on local regulations within certain foreign countries and include severance and other benefits. Restructuring costs include severance costs to reduce headcount, including customary and routine adjustments to initial estimates for employee separation costs, as well as costs to close certain facilities under the QH Program. These costs are recorded in Restructuring and related charges in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As described in Note 4 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Restructuring and related charges are not included in the Company’s calculation of reportable segments’ measure of operating earnings and therefore these costs are not reviewed by or recorded to reportable segments.

In connection with the plans for closure of certain manufacturing and non-manufacturing facilities, the Company has made available for sale certain facilities and property. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, the Company classified certain properties with aggregate book value of approximately $6.9 million as held-for-sale that are recorded in Prepaid expenses and other current assets on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company expects to complete the sale of these properties over the next 12 months.
