Restructuring and Other Charges

The Company accounts for its restructuring plans under the authoritative guidance for exit or disposal activities. The Company presents expenses related to restructuring and other charges as a separate line item in its consolidated statements of operations. Accrued restructuring and other charges are classified within other accrued liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

No significant restructuring and other charges or benefits were recognized during the last two fiscal quarters of 2016. Restructuring and other charges recognized in the second quarter of 2016 related primarily to severance as headcount reductions occurred within the commercial business unit. The headcount reductions were implemented in line with channel shift and changing buying behaviors being experienced for the commercial business unit products. Restructuring and other charges recognized in the first quarter of 2016, and the first and second quarter of 2015 respectively related to actions to resize the service provider business unit and supporting functions. The actions were taken to match the reduced revenue outlook and to concentrate resources on LTE Advanced and long-term profitable accounts. Charges incurred in these periods primarily related to severance, other one-time termination benefits and other associated costs attributable to the restructuring actions announced in February 2015 and January 2016, respectively. Amounts attributable to lease contract termination charges will be paid over the remaining lease term until January 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recognized a charge of $1.4 million relating primarily to expenses associated with the early termination of a lease agreement in Canada and $0.8 million primarily relating to one-time separation charges associated with the departure of the retail business unit general manager.
