RESTRUCTURING
On July 28, 2017, the Company’s board of directors approved the 2017 Restructuring. As part of the 2017 Restructuring, the Company announced plans to: (i) divest Bayou; (ii) exit all non-pipe related contract applications for the Tyfo® system in North America; (iii) right-size the cathodic protection services operation in Canada and the CIPP businesses in Australia and Denmark; and (iv) reduce corporate and other operating costs.
During 2018, the Company’s board of directors approved additional actions with respect to the 2017 Restructuring, which included the decisions to: (i) divest the Australia and Denmark CIPP businesses; (ii) take actions to further optimize operations within North America, including measures to reduce consolidated operating costs; and (iii) divest or otherwise exit multiple additional international businesses, including: (a) the Company’s cathodic protection installation activities in the Middle East, including Corrpower; (b) United Pipeline de Mexico S.A. de C.V., the Company’s Tite Liner® joint venture in Mexico; (c) the Company’s Tite Liner® businesses in Brazil and Argentina; (d) Aegion South Africa; and (e) the Company’s CIPP contract installation operations in England.
Total pre-tax 2017 Restructuring and related impairment charges since inception were $142.5 million ($128.5 million post-tax) and consisted of cash charges totaling $28.9 million and non-cash charges totaling $113.6 million. Cash charges included employee severance, retention, extension of benefits, employment assistance programs and other restructuring costs associated with the restructuring efforts described above. Non-cash charges included (i) $86.4 million related to goodwill and long-lived asset impairment charges recorded in 2017 as part of exiting the non-pipe FRP contracting market in North America, and (ii) $27.2 million related to allowances for accounts receivable, write-offs of inventory and long-lived assets, impairment of definite-lived intangible assets, as well as net losses on the disposal of both domestic and international entities. The Company reduced headcount by approximately 440 employees as a result of these actions.
The Company expects to incur additional cash and non-cash charges of $12 million to $16 million during 2019. The identified charges are primarily focused in the international operations of both Infrastructure Solutions and Corrosion Protection, but will also include certain charges in Energy Services to a lesser extent. The Company expects to reduce headcount by an additional 50 employees as a result of these further actions.
During the quarters ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, the Company recorded pre-tax expenses related to the 2017 Restructuring as follows (in thousands):
