Restructuring Activities
Due to economic conditions, including low energy prices and global competition, the Company implemented a number of cost reduction or avoidance actions during 2015 and 2016, including headcount reductions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, the Company incurred severance and other restructuring charges of $1,989 and $5,681 associated with headcount reductions in all of its segments. These charges were recorded in cost of sales ($981 and $3,342 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016) and selling, general, and administrative expenses ($1,008 and $2,339 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016). The Company currently expects additional severance charges in the remaining six months of 2016 to be approximately $500, but further actions may be required based on future business conditions.
During 2015, Chart announced its intention to close certain D&S leased facilities.  These closures were cost reduction measures in response to lower orders within D&S.  Total cost incurred during 2015 related to these closures was $4,810. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2015, charges incurred related to these closures were $800 and $1,300, respectively, and included lease exit costs, long-lived asset impairments, and other miscellaneous costs. The majority of these costs were included in cost of sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). The remaining accrual for the facility restructuring costs within D&S as of June 30, 2016 was $2,660. These costs are expected to be paid out over the terms of the associated leases which are expected to end in 2023.
