Extremity Fixation restructuring plan

In December 2016, the Company approved and initiated a planned restructuring, which primarily affects the Extremity Fixation SBU, to streamline costs, improve operational performance, and wind down a non-core business. The Extremity Fixation restructuring plan consists of primarily severance charges, professional fees and the write-down of certain assets. The Company expects to incur total pre-tax expense of approximately $3.3 million in connection with this restructuring activity and has incurred cumulative costs to date of $3.3 million, largely within cost of sales and operating expenses. The Company had an accrual of $1.5 million as of December 31, 2016 in other current liabilities related to the planned restructuring. In 2017, the Company incurred costs of $1.3 million and made payments of $2.1 million relating to these activities, resulting in a remaining accrual of $0.7 million as of December 31, 2017.

U.S. restructuring plan

In September 2017, the Company approved and executed an additional restructuring plan, which primarily affects the entity’s corporate shared services in the U.S. to streamline costs and to improve operational performance. The U.S. restructuring plan consists primarily of severance charges. The Company estimates total pre-tax expense of approximately $1.7 million in connection with this restructuring activity, all of which was incurred in 2017, and recorded within cost of sales and operating expenses. Payments were made in 2017 of $0.6 million relating to these activities; therefore, $1.1 million is accrued within other current liabilities as of December 31, 2017.
