2013 Realignment Program
2013 REALIGNMENT PROGRAM
In the fourth quarter of 2013, we initiated a realignment program to reduce and optimize certain non-strategic QRC and manufacturing facilities and our overall cost structure ("2013 Realignment Program"). We expect total 2013 Realignment Program charges will be $15.8 million for approved plans, of which $12.4 million has been incurred through December 31, 2014. Realignment charges, net of adjustments, were $1.6 million and $10.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The majority of these charges are restructuring in nature.
The realignment program consists of both restructuring and non-restructuring charges. Restructuring charges represent costs associated with the relocation or reorganization of certain business activities and facility closures and primarily represent employee severance. Non-restructuring charges are costs incurred to improve operating efficiency and reduce redundancies and primarily represent employee severance. Expenses are reported in COS or SG&A, as applicable, in our consolidated statements of income.
Generally, the aforementioned charges were or will be paid in cash, except for asset write-downs, which are non-cash charges. The restructuring reserve related to the 2013 Realignment Program was $1.1 million and $6.3 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
