Facility Closures
Goshen, Indiana facility
In November 2012, the Company announced plans to close its manufacturing facility in Goshen, Indiana, moving production from Goshen to lower-cost manufacturing facilities during 2013. The Company completed the move and ceased operations in Goshen during the fourth quarter of 2013. During 2013, the Company recorded charges, primarily for severance benefits for its approximately 350 union hourly workers to be involuntarily terminated, of approximately $4.0 million, of which approximately $3.8 million was recorded in the three months ended March 31, 2013 and is included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of income. Additionally, during 2012, the Company recorded charges, primarily for severance benefits for salaried employees to be involuntarily terminated as part of the closure of approximately $1.2 million. Through June 30, 2014, the Company had paid the approximately $5.2 million of the total hourly and salaried severance benefit charges recorded.
In addition, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the Company incurred approximately $0.4 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of pre-tax non-cash charges related to accelerated depreciation expense as a result of shortening the expected lives on certain machinery, equipment and leasehold improvement assets that the Company no longer utilizes following the facility closure.
São Paulo, Brazil facility
In June 2014, the Company announced the restructuring of its Brazilian business within the Energy reportable segment, including plans to close its manufacturing facility in São Paulo, Brazil during the third quarter of 2014. In connection with this action, the Company recorded charges of approximately $0.5 million, primarily related to severance benefits, for its approximately 60 employees to be involuntarily terminated as a result of this closure. This charge is included in cost of sales in the accompanying consolidated statement of income for the three months ended June 30, 2014.
The Company's manufacturing facility in São Paulo is subject to a lease agreement expiring in 2022. The Company is currently assessing the potential recoverability of its future lease obligations for this facility, and will record an estimate of any future unrecoverable lease obligations upon the cease-use date of the facility.
