RESTRUCTURING COSTS

Below is a reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances related to our restructuring efforts for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The expenses associated with these activities are reflected in “Restructuring costs” in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. Cash payments for restructuring costs from continuing operations were $1.8 million and $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. The components included in the reconciliation of the liability balances are as follows (in thousands):

Realignment of Workforce – 2013

During 2013, we eliminated approximately 60 positions in an effort to consolidate and streamline various functions of our workforce. To date, we have recorded $3.3 million of severance costs and $0.2 million in contract termination costs associated with this realignment. On a segment basis, these restructuring costs totaled $1.3 million in North America, $2.0 million in Europe and $0.2 million in Asia Pacific. Our reserve for the 2013 realignment was $0.3 million at September 30, 2014, which we anticipate will be paid within one year.
