The 2019 Plan
In June 2019, the Company initiated a restructuring program to reduce overall expenses which is expected to improve future profitability by reducing spending on research and development efforts and sales, general and administrative programs (the “2019 Plan”). In connection with this restructuring program, the Company initiated a plan of termination resulting in a reduction of approximately 80 employees. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded restructuring and other severance-related charges of approximately $8.8 million related primarily to the reduction in workforce. As of December 31, 2019, the Company’s accrued restructuring balance was approximately $5.0 million. The 2019 Plan is expected to be substantially completed in early 2020.
The 2018 Plan
On January 30, 2018, the Company announced its plans to close its lighting division and manufacturing operations in Brecksville, Ohio, (“the 2018 Plan”). The Company believed that such business was not core to its strategy and growth objectives. In connection therewith, the Company terminated approximately fifty employees, and began the process to exit the facilities in Ohio and sell the related equipment. The Company expected to record restructuring charges of approximately $2.0 million to $5.0 million related to employee terminations and severance costs and facility related costs. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded a net charge of $2.2 million, primarily related to the reduction in workforce, of which $2.0 million was related to the lighting division and $0.2 million was related to corporate support functions. The 2018 Plan was completed as of December 31, 2019.
The Company concluded that the closure of its lighting division did not meet the criteria for reporting as discontinued operations. Consequently, the lighting division’s long-lived assets were reclassified as held for sale. As of December 31, 2018, the Company sold all property, plant and equipment from its lighting division reclassified as held for sale on the consolidated balance sheets of approximately $3.5 million and recognized a gain on the disposal of the held for sale assets of approximately $1.2 million included in restructuring charges on the consolidated statements of operations.
During 2017, the Company did not initiate any restructuring programs.
