Restructuring
RESTRUCTURING
On October 6, 2014, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2014 Restructuring to improve gross margins and profitability over the long term by exiting low-return businesses and reducing the size and cost of the Company’s overhead structure.
The 2014 Restructuring is expected to reduce future annual operating costs by approximately $11 million, with approximately $9 million in savings from Infrastructure Solutions and $2 million in savings from Corrosion Protection. The Company expected to achieve these future cost savings by (i) exiting certain unprofitable international locations for the Company’s Insituform business and consolidating the Company’s worldwide Fyfe business with the Company’s global Insituform business, all of which is in the Infrastructure Solutions segment; and (ii) eliminating certain idle facilities in the Company’s Bayou Louisiana operations, which is in the Company’s Corrosion Protection segment.
As of September 30, 2015, significant progress had been made against all of the aforementioned objectives. Headcount reductions to date total 86, of which 55 occurred in the first nine months of 2015. The Company expects minimal additional headcount reductions to occur throughout the remainder of 2015 as the Company substantially completes its 2014 Restructuring.
Since inception, the 2014 Restructuring has generated annual cost savings of approximately $10.8 million, which was in-line with the Company’s initial estimate, and consisted of approximately $8.4 million and $2.4 million of recognized savings within the Infrastructure Solutions and Corrosion Protection segments, respectively.
In December 2014, and in connection with the 2014 Restructuring, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, Ka-te, the Company’s Swiss contracting operation, to Marco Daetwyler Gruppe AG, a Swiss company. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a five-year tube supply agreement whereby Ka-te will purchase liners from Insituform Lining. Ka-te will also be entitled to continue to use its trade name based on a trade mark license granted for the same five-year time period. The sale resulted in a loss of approximately $0.5 million that was recorded to other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the fourth quarter of 2014.
In February 2015, and in connection with the 2014 Restructuring, the Company sold its wholly-owned subsidiary, VII, the Company’s French CIPP contracting operation, to certain employees of VII. In connection with the sale, the Company entered into a five-year exclusive tube supply agreement whereby VII will purchase liners from Insituform Lining. VII will also be entitled to continue to use its trade name based on a trade mark license granted for the same five-year time period. The sale resulted in a loss of approximately $2.9 million that was recorded to other income (expense) in the Consolidated Statement of Operations during the first quarter of 2015.
During the quarters and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded pre-tax expense related to the 2014 Restructuring as follows (in thousands):

Total pre-tax restructuring charges to date were $60.2 million ($45.0 million post-tax) and consisted of non-cash charges totaling $48.8 million and cash charges totaling $11.4 million.
