Severance and Restructuring Activities

(8) Severance and Restructuring Activities

During 2016, 2015 and 2014, we recorded severance expense associated with the elimination of certain positions based on a re-alignment of roles and responsibilities, a continued review of resource needs in North America, including a headcount reduction as part of a cost reduction initiative early in 2016, and significant restructuring activities in EMEA, primarily in the United Kingdom, Germany and France, as we worked to reduce our selling and administrative expenses in EMEA.

 

The following table details the activity for each of the three years in the period ending December 31, 2016 related to these resource actions, and the outstanding obligations as of December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

Adjustments were recorded as a reduction to severance and restructuring expense in 2016, 2015 and 2014 of $664,000, $600,000 and $1,023,000, respectively, due to changes in estimates.

The remaining outstanding obligations as of December 31, 2016 are expected to be paid during the next 12 months and are therefore included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities.
