Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring | NOTE B — RESTRUCTURING We record restructuring charges associated with management-approved restructuring plans to either reorganize one or more of our business segments, or to remove duplicative headcount and infrastructure associated with our businesses. Restructuring charges can include severance costs to eliminate a specified number of associates, infrastructure charges to vacate facilities and consolidate operations, contract cancellation costs and other costs. Restructuring charges are recorded based upon planned associate termination dates and site closure and consolidation plans. The timing of associated cash payments is dependent upon the type of restructuring charge and can extend over a multi-year period. We record the short-term portion of our restructuring liability in Other Accrued Liabilities and the long-term portion, if any, in Other Long-Term Liabilities in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. MAP to Growth Between May and August 2018, we approved and implemented the initial phases of a multi-year restructuring plan, which was originally referred to as the 2020 Margin Acceleration Plan (“2020 MAP to Growth”). The initial phases of our 2020 MAP to Growth affected all of our reportable segments, as well as our corporate/nonoperating segment, and focused on margin improvement by simplifying business processes; reducing inventory categories and rationalizing SKUs; eliminating underperforming businesses; reducing headcount and working capital; and improving operating efficiency. The disruption caused by the outbreak of the Covid pandemic delayed the finalization of our 2020 MAP to Growth past the original target completion date of December 31, 2020. In recognition of the fact our restructuring plan extends past calendar year 2020, we began referring to it simply as our “MAP to Growth.” On May 31, 2021, we formally concluded our MAP to Growth. However, certain projects identified prior to May 31, 2021 will not be completed until fiscal 2023, and as such, we have incurred costs in fiscal 2022 and we plan to continue recognizing restructuring expense throughout fiscal 2023. The final implementation and total expected costs are subject to change as we complete these projects. Our execution of the MAP to Growth drove the de-layering and simplification of management and businesses associated with group realignment. We have implemented four center-led functional areas including manufacturing and operations; procurement and supply chain; information technology; and accounting and finance. Our MAP to Growth optimized our manufacturing facilities and provided more efficient plant and distribution facilities. Through the balance sheet date, in association with our MAP to Growth, we have completed, or are in the process of completing, the planned closure of 31 plants and 28 warehouses. We also expect to incur additional severance and benefit costs as part of our planned closure of these facilities. The current total expected costs associated with this plan are outlined in the table below and increased by approximately $0.9 million compared to our prior quarter estimate, primarily attributable to increases of approximately $0.6 million in expected severance and benefit costs and $0.3 million in facility and other closure costs. A summary of the charges recorded in connection with restructuring by reportable segment during is as follows:
