Restructuring and Other Infrequent Expenses

During 2015 and 2014, the Company announced and initiated several actions to rationalize employee headcount at various manufacturing facilities located in Europe, China, Brazil, Argentina and the United States, as well as various administrative offices located in Europe, Brazil, China and the United States. The aggregate headcount reduction of approximately 2,100 employees in 2014 and 2015 was initiated in order to reduce costs in response to softening global market demand and reduced production volumes. The Company recorded approximately $46.4 million of restructuring and other infrequent expenses during 2014 associated with these rationalizations, of which approximately $44.4 million related to severance and other related costs. During 2014, the Company paid approximately $19.0 million of these costs, and as of December 31, 2014, had a remaining accrued balance of approximately $25.4 million. During 2015, the Company recorded and paid approximately $22.3 million and $29.5 million, respectively, of restructuring and other infrequent expenses associated with severance and other related costs. The remaining $16.9 million balance of severance and other related costs accrued as of December 31, 2015, inclusive of approximately $1.3 million of negative foreign currency translation impacts, are expected be paid primarily during 2016.
