Restructuring and Impairments

In fiscal year 2020, the Company recorded impairment and restructuring charges of $12.1 million and $9.9 million, respectively, in fiscal year 2020. These charges resulted from the Company’s exit from its rental program and related liquidation of its rental fleet, the sunset of certain low profit ambulance brands, move from a centralized to a decentralized aftermarket parts business to better align that business to support customers and enable sustainable growth, the exit from certain low profit businesses in the F&E segment, and severance costs related to reductions in force across the Company in response to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

Restructuring costs of $5.7 million for fiscal year 2019 were primarily attributable to headcount reductions in the Fire & Emergency segment and our corporate office as well as a facility closure in the Recreation Segment and lease termination costs. Non-cash impairment charges of $8.9 million for fiscal year 2019 were primarily related to assets held for sale and other assets which were liquidated during the year.

 

Restructuring costs for fiscal year 2018 of $7.2 million represent costs incurred to restructure certain management positions in the Fire & Emergency, Commercial and Recreation segments, Corporate office, as well as to relocate the Company’s Class B RV production. Non-cash impairment charge of $35.6 million for fiscal year 2018 was related to assets held for sale and other assets that management intended to monetize or that were otherwise impaired which included the Company’s rental fleet, inventory from discontinued product lines and certain information system assets.

The Company does not expect to incur additional material restructuring costs related to those incurred in fiscal year 2020. As of October 31, 2020, and October 31, 2019, remaining restructuring charges of $2.6 million and $0.9 million were accrued. Refer to Note 8, Other Current Liabilities.
