RATIONALIZATION AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS |
RATIONALIZATION AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS | NOTE 6 — RATIONALIZATION AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS The Company recorded Rationalization and asset impairment net charges of $8,277 and $36,016 in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The charges are primarily related to employee severance, non-cash asset impairments of long-lived assets and gains or losses on the disposal of assets. During 2020 and 2021, the Company initiated rationalization plans within Americas Welding and International Welding segments. The plans include headcount restructuring and the consolidation of manufacturing operations to better align the Company’s cost structure with economic conditions and operating needs. At September 30, 2021, liabilities of $6,791 for International Welding were recognized in Other current liabilities in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company believes the rationalization actions will positively impact future results of operations and will not have a material effect on liquidity and sources and uses of capital. The Company continues to evaluate its cost structure and additional rationalization actions may result in charges in future periods. The following table summarizes the activity related to rationalization liabilities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021: ​
