RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

NOTE 12 – RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

 

In fiscal 2019, we commenced a plan (the “Plan”) to capture certain synergies and cost savings related to streamlining our global operations and sales organization, as well as rationalize certain leased properties that were not fully occupied. Our Plan is aligned with our strategy to integrate the global sales organization and further outsource manufacturing functions in order to drive operational efficiency, increase supplier geographic diversity, and reduce operating expenses. To date, total restructuring charges are $17.2 million, comprised primarily of $10.7 million in severance and employee related costs, and $6.4 million for vacant office and manufacturing facility as well as terminated tower infrastructure leases. Restructuring charges related to vacant office and manufacturing facility space were due primarily to the vacancy in Canton, Massachusetts of $3.3 million. Substantially all charges related to severance and employee costs were under the Telematics Products reportable segment.

 

 

The following table summarizes the charges resulting from the implementation of the restructuring plan for the fiscal years ended February 28/29, 2021, 2020 and 2019 (in thousands):

The restructuring liabilities related to personnel were included in Accrued payroll and employee benefits in our consolidated balance sheets as of February 28, 2021 and February 29, 2020. Charges to restructuring liabilities for the fiscal year ended February 29, 2020, excluded the impairment of $1.2 million for the vacant office space that was recorded as a reduction of Operating lease right-of-use assets in our consolidated balance sheet. The anticipated rent payments for the ceased-use leased facilities will be made through December 2025.
