Restructuring Costs

Restructuring costs of $33.5 million, $32.1 million and $55.4 million for the years ended 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively, are reflected in Restructuring and other costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and the associated liabilities are recorded in Accrued liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These costs consist of employee severance benefits, payments due under operating contracts, and other restructuring costs.

In November 2018, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a plan to restructure the Company’s business to support revenue growth and margin expansion and to simplify the organization. The Company expects to incur approximately $275 million in one-time expenditures and charges through 2021. There can be no assurance that the cost reductions and results will be achieved.

In 2017, the Company received all necessary approvals and proceeded with plans in Germany to reorganize and combine portions of its manufacturing, logistics and distribution networks within the Company’s two segments. The Company estimated the cost of these initiatives to be approximately $65.0 million, primarily for severance related benefits for employees, for actions implemented in 2017 and 2018. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company recorded restructuring costs of $55.4 million of which approximately $29.0 million was associated with these plans.
