5.  Restructuring

On March 20, 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan involving its Ameri-Kart Corp. subsidiary (“Ameri-Kart”) that operates within the Company’s Material Handling Segment. The Company plans to consolidate manufacturing operations currently conducted at Ameri-Kart’s Cassopolis, Michigan facility with expanded operations in Indiana, and eliminate up to 30 positions in connection with the consolidation (the “Ameri-Kart Plan”). Total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $0.9 million, which include employee severance and other employee-related costs of approximately $0.2 million, equipment relocation and facility shut down costs of approximately $0.6 million and non-cash charges, primarily accelerated depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment, of approximately $0.1 million. No costs were incurred during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan. The Ameri-Kart Plan is expected to be substantially completed in the first half of 2020.

On March 18, 2019, the Company committed to implementing a restructuring plan relating to transformation initiatives within the Company’s Distribution Segment (the “Distribution Transformation Plan”) that are intended to increase sales force effectiveness, reduce costs and improve contribution margins. The Company plans to realign its Distribution Segment’s commercial sales structure, which includes the elimination of certain sales and administrative positions, as well as expand its e-commerce platform. Total restructuring costs expected to be incurred are approximately $0.9 million, primarily related to employee severance and other employee-related costs. No restructuring charges were incurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company incurred restructuring charges of $0.9 million and does not expect to incur any additional restructuring charges in connection with the Distribution Transformation Plan. The Distribution Transformation Plan is expected to be substantially completed by the end of 2019.

On March 9, 2017, the Company announced a restructuring plan to improve the Company’s organizational structure and operational efficiency within the Material Handling Segment (the “Material Handling Plan”), which related primarily to anticipated facility shutdowns and associated activities.  Total restructuring costs incurred related to the Material Handling Plan were approximately $7.7 million, which includes employee severance and other employee-related costs of approximately $3.1 million, $2.6 million related to equipment relocation and facility shut down costs and non-cash charges, primarily accelerated depreciation charges on property, plant and equipment, of approximately $2.0 million. All actions under the Material Handling Plan are completed. The Company incurred $0.1 million of restructuring charges associated with the Material Handling Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2018. No costs were incurred during 2019.

 

As noted above, there were no restructuring charges incurred during the quarters ended June 30, 2019 and 2018. The restructuring charges noted above for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 are presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited) as follows:

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Company reclassified a facility that was closed in connection with the Material Handling Plan as held for sale. Based on the estimated fair value of this facility (using primarily a third party offer considered to be a Level 2 input), less estimated costs to sell, the Company recognized an impairment charge of $0.9 million during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. The facility was sold in May 2019 for net proceeds of $2.9 million, which are included in the net proceeds discussed in Note 3.

 

In addition to the restructuring charges noted above, the Company has also incurred $0.1 million and $0.2 million of other associated costs of the Distribution Transformation Plan during the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, which are included in Selling, General, and Administrative expenses in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (Unaudited), and are primarily related to third party consulting costs. Additional estimated costs of $0.2 million and $0.6 million are expected to be incurred throughout the remainder of 2019 related to the Ameri-Kart Plan and the Distribution Transformation Plan, respectively.
