Restructuring Charges

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, management decided to idle a manufacturing facility located in Pendergrass, Georgia. The strategic decision will provide a more efficient and focused footprint allowing us to operate with lower fixed costs. We are anticipating that operations will be idled by the end of 2018. Total restructuring costs related to the idling of the Pendergrass facility were $4,450. These costs primarily included the impairment of the building and manufacturing equipment, employee-related costs, legal costs and other related costs. Also, during fiscal 2017, we incurred employee-related costs of $327 related to restructuring initiatives at our Dickson, Tennessee facility. We expect to incur approximately $4,000 of additional restructuring costs related to the Pendergrass facility initiated as of October 31, 2017. Any future restructuring actions will depend upon market conditions, customer actions and other factors.
