Accrued Liabilities

Accrued Liabilities

Included within accrued liabilities were accruals related to restructuring and warranty expenses as of March 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012.

Restructuring Accrual

The Company has incurred expenses as a result of cost reduction efforts in Europe in recent years. The expenses primarily relate to employee termination benefits that are payable under local statutory requirements. In the three months ended March 29, 2013 and March 30, 2012, the Company incurred $3.1 million and $0.3 million in charges related to actions taken at various operations in Europe to permanently reduce manufacturing personnel as well as charges related to the closure of a North American manufacturing facility. The accrual balance related to these actions at March 29, 2013 was $2.0 million and was immaterial at December 31, 2012. Other expenses related to routine employee reductions for cost savings initiatives throughout the globe, with the exception of the aforementioned severance plan, were immaterial.

Warranty Accrual

The warranty accrual balance at March 29, 2013 and December 31, 2012 was $12.1 million and $12.8 million, respectively. The Company accrues liabilities under service and warranty policies based upon specific claims and a review of historical warranty and service claims experience. Adjustments are made to the accruals as claims data and historical experience change. In addition, the Company incurs discretionary costs to service its products in connection with product performance issues.
