Restructuring Charges

Note 18. Restructuring Charges

GES

As part of our efforts to drive efficiencies and simplify our business operations, we took certain restructuring actions designed to reduce our cost structure primarily within GES. During 2020, we completed some strategic simplification actions, including the elimination of certain positions primarily in the United Kingdom.

Other Restructurings

We recorded restructuring charges in connection with the consolidation of certain support functions at our corporate headquarters. These charges primarily consist of severance and related benefits due to headcount reductions and charges related to the downsizing of facilities.

Changes to the restructuring liability by major restructuring activity are as follows:

	GES						Other Restructurings
(in thousands)	Severance & Employee Benefits			Facilities			Severance & Employee Benefits			Total
Balance at December 31, 2019	$	2,935		$	1,339		$	239		$	4,513
Restructuring charges		664			(8	)		195			851
Cash payments		(808	)		(223	)		(262	)		(1,293	)
Adjustment to liability		(80	)		(46	)		10			(116	)
Balance at March 31, 2020	$	2,711		$	1,062		$	182		$	3,955

As of March 31, 2020, we expect to pay all but $1.5 million of the liabilities related to severance and employee benefits by the end of 2020. The liability related to future lease payments will be paid over the remaining lease terms. Refer to Note 22 – Segment Information, for information regarding restructuring charges by segment.
