The Company records liabilities for costs associated with exit or disposal activities in the period in which the liability is incurred. Employee severance costs are accrued when the restructuring actions are probable and estimable. Costs for one-time termination benefits in which the employee is required to render service until termination in order to receive the benefits are recognized ratably over the future service period.

During the second quarter of Fiscal 2023, the Company began moving certain of its OEM production operations from Florida to Mexico and during the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company implemented a cost reduction initiative in order to streamline operations, reduce costs, and align its business in response to market conditions. As a result of these initiatives, the Company incurred restructuring expenses, consisting primarily of severance payments due to global workforce reductions, of $2,136 and $870 for the years ended February 29, 2024 and February 28, 2023, respectively. For the year ended February 29, 2024, $890 of our restructuring charges were incurred by the Automotive segment, $1,071 was incurred by the Consumer Electronics segment, $27 was incurred by the Biometrics segment, and $148 was incurred by Corporate. For the year ended February 28, 2023, all restructuring charges were incurred by the Automotive segment. At February 29, 2024, $407 of these restructuring charges were not yet settled and are included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities within Employee compensation in the above presentation. The Company expects substantially all of this liability balance to be settled during first quarter of Fiscal 2025. Additional restructuring charges related to relocation and cost reductions may be incurred during Fiscal 2025.
