Warranties Provisions of Woodward’s sales agreements include product warranties customary to these types of agreements. Accruals are established for specifically identified warranty issues that are probable to result in future costs. Warranty costs are accrued as revenue is recognized on a non-specific basis whenever past experience indicates a normal and predictable pattern exists. Changes in accrued product warranties were as follows:

Restructuring charges During the third quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company committed to a plan of termination (the “Termination Plan”) in response to the ongoing global economic challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s business. The Termination Plan involved the termination and/or furlough of employees and contractors at certain of the Company’s operating facilities, primarily in the United States. As a result of the Termination Plan, the Company incurred $23,673 of restructuring charges related to employee severance and benefits costs as of September 30, 2020. All of the restructuring charges recorded during the fiscal year ended September 30, 2020 were recorded as nonsegment expenses. The summary of activity in accrued restructuring charges during the six-months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:
