Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

In the first quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors approved a global restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”), which is intended to support our strategic plan in an effort to improve operating performance and ensure that we are appropriately structured and resourced to deliver increased and sustainable value to our shareholders and customers. Key activities under the Restructuring Plan include a continued focus on efficiency and cost-saving efforts, which included a planned decrease of total headcount.

On July 15, 2021, we entered into a manufacturing services agreement (the “Agreement”) with Sanmina Corporation (“Sanmina”), in connection with the Restructuring Plan. Under the Agreement, Sanmina will provide manufacturing services for the Company’s measurement device products manufactured by the Company at the Company’s Lake Mary, Florida, Exton, Pennsylvania, Stuttgart, Germany and Portugal manufacturing sites. This phased transition to a Sanmina production facility was completed at the beginning of the third quarter of 2022 as part of our cost reduction initiative. As a result of an evaluation on the usage of our manufacturing spaces, we decided to abandon 17,000 square feet of unused space at our Exton, Pennsylvania facility in the third quarter of 2022. Since the approval of the Restructuring Plan, we paid $24.8 million, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits. All actions under this plan were completed as of March 31, 2023, and the remaining amounts payable of $0.5 million were rolled forward to the Integration Plan discussed below.

On February 7, 2023, our Board of Directors approved an integration plan (the "Integration Plan"), which is intended to streamline and simplify operations, particularly around our recent acquisitions and the resulting redundant operations and offerings. The Integration Plan was amended on May 3, 2023, and the Board approved increases to both the expected pre-tax charges and the annualized cost savings. Key activities under the Integration Plan include a planned decrease in headcount, consolidation of our cloud-based offerings from 3 platforms (2 acquired, 1 organic) into a single customer offering, and the optimization of our facility assets to align with current and expected future utilization. We expected to incur total pre-tax charges in the range of $22 million to $28 million for the Integration Plan predominantly through the end of fiscal year 2023, with a targeted annualized savings of approximately $20 million to $30 million. As of September 30, 2023, in relation with the Integration Plan, we have incurred total restructuring charges of $24.2 million, and have made cash payments of $7.1 million.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we have completed an evaluation of our leased facilities located in Lake Mary, Florida, Stuttgart and Dresden, Germany, Portugal and Singapore and determined that we will abandon portions of these facilities. Consequently, we recorded right-of-use asset and leasehold improvement impairment charges of $0.3 million and $4.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, which was included in restructuring costs on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We expect to make cash payments for the remaining duration of the contractual lease period approximating the right-of-use asset write-off value. As a part of the Integration Plan, we also evaluated our product portfolio and decided to discontinue certain legacy products. This led to inventory and related purchase commitments impairment charges of $8.1 million, which were included in the cost of sales on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In the third quarter of 2023 and 2022, we recognized $1.6 million and $17.0 thousand, respectively, in employee severance and other professional costs associated with the restructuring plans. Additionally, we paid $3.1 million and $2.6 million, respectively, for the same periods, primarily consisting of severance and related benefits.
