2013 Actions

        On July 30, 2013, the Board of Directors authorized a restructuring program with respect to the Company's EMEA segment to reduce its European manufacturing footprint, improve organizational and operational efficiency and better align costs with expected revenues in response to changing market conditions. The restructuring program is expected to include a pre-tax charge to earnings totaling approximately $8.1 million, all of which is expected to be recorded through the end of fiscal 2015. In 2014, the total expected costs of the planned actions were reduced from $14.0 million to $8.1 million, primarily related to reduced severance costs and favorable foreign exchange rates with the weakening of the euro. Approximately $1.5 million of expected severance and asset write-down costs that were initially anticipated in the 2013 actions have been included in the 2014 EMEA other actions discussed below. The total 2013 actions charge will include costs for severance benefits, relocation, site clean-up, professional fees and certain asset write-downs. The total net after-tax charge for the restructuring program is expected to be approximately $5.7 million. The net after-tax charges incurred in 2014 and 2013 were $2.7 million and $2.9 million, respectively.

        Details of the Company's 2013 European footprint program reserve for the year ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 are as follows:
