RATIONALIZATION AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS |
RATIONALIZATION AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS | ​ NOTE 7 – RATIONALIZATION AND ASSET IMPAIRMENTS The Company has rationalization plans primarily within the International Welding segment. The plans include headcount restructuring and the consolidation of manufacturing facilities to better align the cost structure with economic conditions and operating needs. At December 31, 2023, liabilities of $15,086 for International Welding were recognized in Other current liabilities in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet. The Company does not anticipate significant additional charges related to the completion of these plans. The Company recorded rationalization and asset impairment net gain of $11,314 for the year ended December 31, 2023 and net charges of $11,788 and $9,827 for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to these plans. The charges are primarily related to employee severance, asset impairments and gains or losses on the disposal of assets. 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 the rationalization liabilities: ​
