Note 2: Restructuring

During fiscal 2014, we committed to a restructuring of our casegoods business to transition to an all-import model for our wood furniture. We ceased casegoods manufacturing operations at our Hudson, North Carolina facility during the second quarter of fiscal 2015. As a result of this restructuring, we transitioned our remaining Kincaid and American Drew bedroom product lines to imported product and exited the hospitality business as we manufactured those products in our Hudson facility. We have transitioned our warehouse and repair functions from two North Wilkesboro, North Carolina facilities to Hudson. In addition, we sold both of the North Wilkesboro facilities and most of the wood-working equipment from our Hudson plant during fiscal 2015. During fiscal 2015 we also completed the consolidation of our casegoods showrooms.

We have recorded pre-tax restructuring charges of $7.7 million ($5.0 million after tax) since the inception of this restructuring plan, with $4.5 million pre-tax ($2.9 million after tax) related to continuing operations and $3.2 million pre-tax ($2.1 million after tax) related to discontinued operations. These charges relate to severance and benefit-related costs and various asset write-downs, including fixed assets, inventory and trade names. The pre-tax restructuring income recorded in fiscal 2015 mainly related to gains realized on the sale of the North Wilkesboro warehouse in the third quarter, as well as inventory recoveries. These items were partly offset by severance and benefit related costs and rent expense related to an idled showroom.

The table below details the total pre-tax restructuring (income)/expense recorded by type for the fiscal years ended April 25, 2015, and April 26, 2014:

The restructuring (income)/expenses from continuing operations were recorded as a component of cost of sales and restructuring expenses related to discontinued operations were included in our income/(loss) from discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of income.

We had $0.6 million of restructuring liability remaining as of April 25, 2015, primarily related to severance, which we expect to be settled throughout fiscal 2016. We included restructuring charges related to discontinued operations in our income (loss) from discontinued operations in our consolidated statement of income.

During fiscal 2013, we recorded a restructuring charge of $2.6 million, mainly related to fixed asset and inventory write-downs related to the closure of our lumber processing operation in our Casegoods segment.
