Restructuring and Synergy and Site Consolidation Plans

Restructuring Plan

On May 23, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the Company’s May 2023 Restructuring Plan which includes site consolidations, facilities moves and closures, as well as the relocation and requalification of certain manufacturing facilities. These restructuring actions are expected to be accompanied by other cost reductions, and are intended to realign our cost structure as part of a transformation to a simpler, more streamlined, resilient and sustainable business model. We evaluate restructuring charges in accordance with ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations (ASC 420), and ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Post-Employment Benefits (ASC 712).

In the three months ended March 31, 2024, these activities resulted in $12 million of charges primarily for employee termination costs, acceleration of depreciation and the write-off of property and equipment. In the nine months ended March 31, 2024, these activities resulted in $13 million of charges primarily for acceleration of depreciation, employee termination costs and write-off of property and equipment, as well as site move costs and travel costs. In fiscal 2023, these activities resulted in $119 million of charges primarily for employee termination costs and the write-off of property and equipment, net of $65 million from reimbursement arrangements. We expect the restructuring actions to be substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2025. However, the actual timing and costs associated with these restructuring actions may differ from our current expectations and estimates and such differences may be material.

The following table presents our current and non-current liability as accrued for restructuring charges on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The table sets forth an analysis of the components of the restructuring charges and payments and other deductions made against the accrual for the first two quarters in fiscal 2024 ($000):

At March 31, 2024, $19 million and $35 million of accrued severance related costs were included in other accrued liabilities and other liabilities, respectively, and are expected to result in cash expenditures through fiscal 2028. The current year severance related costs are primarily comprised of severance pay for employees being terminated due to the consolidation of certain manufacturing sites, with severance recorded in accordance with ASC 712.

By segment, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, $8 million and $15 million, respectively, of restructuring costs were incurred in the Materials segment, and $4 million and $4 million, respectively, of restructuring costs were incurred in the Lasers segment, partially offset by no and $5 million, respectively, of restructuring recoveries in the Networking segment. Restructuring charges and recoveries are recorded in Restructuring Charges in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).

Synergy and Site Consolidation Plan

On May 20, 2023, the Company announced that it has accelerated some of the actions planned as part of its multi-year synergy and site consolidation efforts following the acquisition of Coherent, Inc., including site consolidations and relocations to lower cost sites. These relocations and other actions are expected to result in the Company achieving its previously announced $250 million synergy plan, which includes savings from supply chain management, internal supply of enabling materials and components, operational efficiencies in all functions due to scale, global functional model efficiencies and consolidation of corporate costs. We evaluate severance and other site consolidation costs in accordance with ASC 420 and ASC 712. In the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the acceleration of these activities resulted in $13 million and $29 million, respectively, of charges primarily for overlapping labor related to transition of manufacturing operations to other sites, shut down costs, accelerated depreciation, and employee termination costs. In fiscal 2023, the acceleration of these activities resulted in $20 million of charges primarily for employee termination costs, the write-off of inventory for products that are end of life and shut down costs.

At March 31, 2024, $6 million and $6 million of accrued severance related costs were included in Other accrued liabilities and Other liabilities, respectively, and are expected to result in cash expenditures through fiscal 2025. The current year severance related costs are primarily comprised of severance pay for employees being terminated due to the exit or consolidation of certain manufacturing sites.

For the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, the $13 million and $29 million, respectively, of synergy and site consolidation costs were incurred in the Lasers segment. Costs related to the synergy and site consolidation efforts are recorded in Cost of goods sold ($9 million and $21 million), IR&D ($3 million and $7 million) and SG&A ($1 million and $1 million) in the three and nine months ended March 31, 2024, respectively, in our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Earnings (Loss).
