The Company’s Board of Directors approves all major restructuring programs that may involve the discontinuance of significant product lines or the shutdown of significant facilities. From time to time, the Company takes additional restructuring actions, including involuntary terminations that are not part of a major program. The Company accounts for these costs in the period that the individual employees are notified or the liability is incurred. These costs are included in restructuring and other charges in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.

2015 Actions

 

On February 17, 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company approved the initial phase of a restructuring program relating to the transformation of the Company’s Americas and Asia-Pacific businesses, which primarily involves product line rationalization efforts relating to non-core products. The Company expects to ultimately eliminate between $175 million to $200 million of the combined Americas and Asia-Pacific net sales primarily within the Company’s do-it-yourself (DIY) distribution channel (the “program”).

 

On July 29, 2015, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Sioux Chief Mfg. Co., Inc. (“Sioux Chief”) to sell the Company’s fittings, brass & tubular and vinyl tubing product lines and associated assets in the Americas.  The Company estimates that the total pre-tax program cost will approximate the mid-point of the $27 million to $50 million range previously disclosed in the first quarter of 2015. The total non-cash charges for this program are expected to be $17 million to $25 million, and the net after-tax charge is expected to be $22 million to $40 million. As of June 28, 2015, the assets associated with the product lines in the Americas have been classified as ‘Held for Sale’ as all of the required criteria had been met. Refer to Note 6 Assets Held for Sale for further discussion.

 

During the second quarter ended June 28, 2015, the Company recorded a $3.7 million pre-tax restructuring charge and liability relating to severance costs in the Americas and Asia-Pacific, $0.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge relating to accelerated depreciation and amortization of long-lived assets in the Americas and other transformation and deployment costs in SG&A of $1.9 million.

 

During the first quarter ended March 29, 2015, the Company recorded a $1.3 million pre-tax restructuring charge and liability relating to facility site clean-up costs at one of the affected locations in the Americas and other transformation and deployment costs in SG&A of $1.5 million.

 

During the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2014, the Company recorded a $15.2 million pre-tax charge relating to the program, consisting of goodwill impairment of $12.9 million, an indefinite-lived intangible asset impairment of $0.5 million, and other transformation and deployment costs of $1.8 million recorded in SG&A. The goodwill impairment charge was based on a quantitative assessment of the Asia-Pacific reporting unit goodwill performed as a result of it being more likely than not that the Asia-Pacific reporting unit’s third party and intersegment net sales would be significantly reduced as a result of the program.

 

The total pre-tax program costs incurred to date are $23.9 million, including restructuring costs of $5.3 million, goodwill and intangible asset impairments of $13.4 million and other transformation and deployment costs of $5.2 million.  The other transformation and deployment costs include consulting fees and other associated costs.

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. Total pre-tax costs for the program were $8.4 million and were incurred from the third quarter of 2013 to the first quarter of 2015. The total charges for this program included 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 was approximately $5.9 million. The net after-tax charges incurred in the first six months of 2015 and 2014 were $0.4 million and $1.7 million, respectively.

 

Other Actions

 

The Company also periodically initiates other actions which are not part of a major program.  In the fourth quarter of 2014, management initiated certain restructuring actions and strategic initiatives with respect to the Company’s EMEA segment in response to the ongoing economic challenges in Europe and additional product rationalization. The restructuring actions primarily include expected severance benefits and limited costs relating to asset write offs, professional fees and relocation.  The total pre-tax charge for these restructuring initiatives is expected to be approximately $9.9 million, of which approximately $7.7 million were incurred as of June 28, 2015 for the program to date. The remaining expected costs relate to severance, asset write-offs and relocation costs and are expected to be completed by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.  The restructuring reserve for these actions as of June 28, 2015 relates to the severance recorded in the prior year.
