Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges

7. Impairment, Restructuring and Other Charges

Restructuring Charges

During 2019, we incurred approximately $4.4 million of expenses primarily associated with professional fees related to our strategic restructuring and approximately $1.1 million in severance payout to our former Chief Operating Officer, pursuant to a separation agreement entered into with him during the first quarter of 2019.

As a result of unfavorable market conditions, including lower commodity prices, the decline in expected offshore rig counts, decreases in our customers’ capital budgets and potential delays associated with certain of our long term projects, as well as the decline in our stock price in December 2018 which resulted in our market capitalization decreasing to below the carrying value of our assets, we announced a cost reduction plan primarily focused on workforce reductions and the reorganization of certain facilities in the second quarter of 2018. In conjunction with the strategic review, the Company adjusted its forecast for recovery to reflect a more delayed recovery in the offshore industry, with pre-downturn demand not returning until after 2025. We incurred restructuring and other charges associated with the cost reduction plan of $60.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2018. Costs incurred for employee termination benefits during the year ended December 31, 2018 were $7.3 million. Additionally, we incurred non-cash inventory and long-lived asset write-downs of approximately $32.1 million and $14.9 million, respectively, as a result of changes in our business structure and where specific products are manufactured. Remaining costs incurred of approximately $5.7 million related to professional fees for consulting services for the strategic planning and implementation efforts. These charges are reflected as "Impairment, restructuring and other charges" in our consolidated statement of operations. We did not incur restructuring charges during the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

2019 Impairment Charge

  

There were no impairment of goodwill, inventory or long-lived assets during the year ended December 31, 2019.

2018 Impairment Charge

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded an impairment charge of $38.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2018 as a result of our updated assessment of current market conditions and restructuring efforts. For further information, see Note 8, “Goodwill.”

2017 Impairment of Inventory and Long-lived Assets

In connection with our preparation and review of financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2017, after considering current Brent crude (Brent) consensus forecasts and expected rig counts for the foreseeable future, we determined the carrying amount of certain of our long-lived assets in the Western Hemisphere exceeded the fair values of such assets due to projected declines in asset utilization and that the cost of some of our worldwide inventory exceeded its market value. As a result, we recorded corresponding impairments and other charges. Primarily as a result of the factors described above, we recorded charges of approximately $33.6 million related to inventory and $27.4 million related to fixed assets.
