Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

(25) Restructuring and Exit Activity Costs

On August 5, 2020, we announced, in connection with the new strategic focus, a restructuring plan intended to align our operating costs with current revenue levels and better position the Company for future sustainable and profitable growth. The restructuring plan included a reduction of nearly 20% of our workforce, with the majority of the workforce reduction completed by December 31, 2020. We completed the restructuring efforts in the second quarter of 2021. Cost reduction efforts included reducing the number of facilities and examining every aspect of our manufacturing and operating costs.We incurred cash charges for severance, facility closing and other costs, primarily in the second half of 2020, and continued to incur additional charges through the second quarter of 2021, when we finalized all the actions to be taken. Non-cash charges related to these actions were $6,400 and are included in facility closing costs. We also divested parts of the business that did not align with this strategic focus. See Note 4.

In connection with the restructuring plan, we recorded pre-tax costs during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, included within selling, general and administrative in the consolidated statement of operations as follows:


(in thousands)	Costs Incurred during 2020		Costs Incurred during 2021		Total Costs Incurred
Severance, termination benefits and other employee costs	$	12,914	$	660	$	13,574
Facility closing costs	6,470		640		7,110
Other costs	668		(179)		489
Total	$	20,052	$	1,121	$	21,173

The liabilities at December 31, 2020 related to these costs were principally recorded in accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheets and consisted of severance, termination benefits and other employee costs of $7,173. There were no liabilities at December 31, 2021.
