RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

9 Months Ended

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

During the first quarter of 2015, management began executing a realignment of our operations to reduce labor redundancies and facility costs. As part of this realignment, the Company recorded charges related to severance, fixed asset impairments, write-off of intangible assets, and recognition of lease expense for properties no longer used but for which we have a contractual obligation. The recorded restructuring liabilities are expected to be paid primarily within the current year. While the Company believes the recorded restructuring liabilities are adequate, revisions to current estimates may be recorded in future periods based on new information as it becomes available. There could be additional initiatives in the future to further streamline our operations. As such, the Company expects further expenses related to workforce reductions and other facility rationalization costs when those restructuring plans are finalized and related expenses are estimable.

The following table below highlights $2.2 million and $16.5 million of pre-tax restructuring charges by reporting segment for the three- and nine-months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, which are reflected as part of SG&A on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
