Restructuring Related and Impairment Charges
During 2011, the Corporation made the decision to transition out of its Lithia Springs, Georgia office furniture distribution center and the transition was completed in fourth quarter 2012. The distribution center was operated by a third-party logistics provider. The Corporation added distribution capacity to its Cedartown, Georgia office furniture manufacturing facility and distribution center to make up for the loss of the Lithia Springs distribution center. To make room for the additional distribution capacity, the Corporation consolidated some office furniture manufacturing production from the Cedartown facility into existing office furniture manufacturing facilities in Muscatine, Iowa. In addition, during 2011, the Corporation made the decision to consolidate some office furniture manufacturing production from its Hickory, North Carolina facility into its Wayland, New York facility. In connection with the closure, consolidations and realignment, the Corporation recorded $0.2 million of accelerated depreciation of machinery and equipment recorded in cost of sales and $1.8 million of severance and facility exit costs recorded as restructuring costs in 2011. During 2012, the Corporation recorded current period charges which included $0.3 million of accelerated depreciation of machinery and equipment recorded in cost of sales and $1.5 million of severance and facility exit costs recorded as restructuring costs.
