Fiscal Year 2017 Restructuring Plan

On March 6, 2017, the Company announced the 2017 Restructuring Plan, which primarily focused on the restructuring of the Ultrasound business, designed to improve profitability and provide consistent long term growth. As part of the 2017 Restructuring Plan, the Company will consolidate the activities currently conducted in Vancouver, British Columbia with its existing operations in Copenhagen, Denmark and Peabody, Massachusetts and the Company was substantially out of the Vancouver facility at the end fiscal 2017. The Company intends to re-size its U.S. sales, global marketing as well as general and administration organizations in-line with its objectives. These activities will result in a workforce reduction of approximately 130 employees. We incurred pre-tax charges of $7.2 million during the fiscal year 2017, this cost consisted of severance and personnel related cost for 130 terminated employees as well as cost for the relocation of existing equipment and project management cost, which are recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations under restructuring.  The $7.2 million charge was recorded in the operating results of our Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, and Security and Detection segments, with charges of $1.4 million, $5.5 million, and $0.3 million, respectively. We expect that the restructuring plan will be substantially completed during fiscal year 2018.

Fiscal Year 2016 Restructuring Plan

On September 16, 2015, the Company announced our fiscal year 2016 restructuring plan, or 2016 Restructuring Plan. This plan includes the transition of certain manufacturing activities from our Peabody, Massachusetts location to our existing facility in Shanghai, China, and a reduction in force in order to align our research and development investment with expected customer funding. We incurred pre-tax charges of $9.6 million during the fiscal year 2016, primarily relating to severance and personnel related costs for 117 terminated employees, with other costs attributable to the relocation of existing equipment and project management costs, which are recognized in our Consolidated Statement of Operations under restructuring. The $9.6 million charge was recorded in the operating results of our Medical Imaging, Ultrasound, and Security and Detection segments, with charges of $6.0 million, $1.9 million, and $1.7 million, respectively. The 2016 Restructuring Plan was completed during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017.
