Severance, Restructuring, and Acquisition Integration Activities

Industrial and Network Solutions Restructuring Program: 2015-2016
Both our Industrial Solutions and Network Solutions segments had been negatively impacted by a decline in sales volume in 2015. At such time, global demand for industrial products had been negatively impacted by the strengthened U.S. dollar and lower energy prices. As a result, our customers reduced their capital spending. In response to these industrial market conditions, we began to execute a restructuring program in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 to reduce our cost structure. We recognized approximately $3.5 million of severance and other restructuring costs for this program during the first quarter of 2016, most of which was in our Network Solutions segment. We did not incur any additional severance and other restructuring costs for this program during the first quarter of 2017. To date, we have incurred a total of $13.0 million in severance and other restructuring costs for this program. We expect the restructuring program to generate approximately $18 million of savings on an annualized basis, which we began to realize in the first fiscal quarter of 2016.
Industrial Manufacturing Footprint Program: 2016 - 2017
In 2016, we began a program to consolidate our manufacturing footprint. The manufacturing consolidation is expected to be completed by the end of 2017. We recognized $5.7 million of severance and other restructuring costs for this program during the three months ended April 2, 2017. The costs were incurred by the Enterprise Solutions and Industrial Solutions segments, as the manufacturing locations involved in the program serve both platforms. To date, we have incurred a total of $23.5 million in severance and other restructuring costs for this program. We expect to incur approximately$9 million of additional severance and other restructuring costs for this program in the remainder of 2017. We expect the program to generate approximately $10 million of savings on an annualized basis, beginning in the second half of 2017.

Grass Valley Restructuring Program: 2015-2016
Our Broadcast Solutions segment’s Grass Valley brand was negatively impacted by a decline in global demand of broadcast technology infrastructure products beginning in 2015. Outside of the U.S., demand for these products was impacted by the relative price increase of products due to the strengthened U.S. dollar as well as the impact of weaker economic conditions which have resulted in lower capital spending. Within the U.S., demand for these products was impacted by deferred capital spending. We believe broadcast customers deferred their capital spending as they navigated through a number of important industry transitions and a changing media landscape. In response to these broadcast market conditions, we began to execute a restructuring program beginning in the third fiscal quarter of 2015 to reduce our cost structure. We recognized approximately $4.1 million of severance and other restructuring costs for this program during the first quarter of 2016. We did not incur any additional severance and other restructuring costs for this program during the first quarter of 2017. To date, we have incurred a total of $34.1 million in severance and other restructuring costs for this program. We expect the restructuring program to generate approximately $30 million of savings on an annualized basis, which we began to realize in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015.

Of the total severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs recognized in the three months ended April 2, 2017, $5.9 million, $0.7 million, and $0.0 million were included in cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expenses; and research and development, respectively. Of the total severance, restructuring, and acquisition integration costs recognized in the three months ended April 3, 2016, $2.1 million, $6.0 million, and $0.3 million were included in cost of sales; selling, general and administrative expenses; and research and development, respectively.
The other restructuring and integration costs primarily consisted of integrating manufacturing operations, such as equipment transfers, costs to consolidate operating and support facilities, retention bonuses, relocation, travel, legal, and other costs. The majority of the other cash restructuring and integration costs related to these actions were paid as incurred or are payable within the next 60 days.   
There were no significant severance accrual balances as of April 2, 2017 or December 31, 2016.
