Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and other | Restructuring and other Restructuring and other includes charges or expenses attributable to: (i) employee severance; (ii) management changes; (iii) restructuring and integration; (iv) cost savings initiatives; and (v) other unusual items. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, approximately $10.3 million and $17.2 million, respectively, of Restructuring and other were related to items (i) and (iii) set forth above. We began integrating Scientific Games and WMS subsequent to the WMS acquisition in October 2013. This integration was completed during the first quarter of 2016. We began integrating Scientific Games and Bally subsequent to the Bally acquisition in November 2014 by implementing our plans to streamline our operations and cost structure. Although we have substantially completed the actions under the above-described restructuring plans, we remain focused on cost efficiencies and will execute additional initiatives in the future, if necessary, in order to streamline our operations and cost structure. We do not expect to incur additional material costs related to our previously announced integration plans. The amounts currently accrued and previously expensed as Restructuring and other were $5.8 million as of September 30, 2016. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, we made cash payments on these restructuring plans totaling $3.4 million and $10.7 million, respectively. Refer to Subsequent Events Note 17.
