Restructuring Activities and Other Inventory-Related Charges

In July 2023, the Board of Directors authorized the Company's management team to undertake restructuring activities to simplify and streamline our organization and strengthen the overall effectiveness of our operations. Since the initial streamlining and rebalancing efforts contemplated in July 2023, and with the introduction of new management in the second half of 2024, the

Company continues to undertake further restructuring activities (collectively, the “Restructuring Plan”) which has included consolidating a portion of our manufacturing operations between certain U.S. locations, writing-off abandoned equipment with the rationalization of excess production line capacity and discontinuing the sale of certain product SKUs. In addition, the Company continues to evaluate the net realizable value of finished goods and raw materials to meet rapidly changing demand during a challenging supply chain environment in the industry.

The Company recorded pre-tax costs of $46.9 million and $32.2 million in the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, related to the Restructuring Plan and other inventory-related charges. The Company believes the Restructuring Plan is now primarily complete as of December 31, 2024.

The following table summarizes the charges related to restructuring activities and other inventory-related charges by type of cost:

Severance and employee-related costs are primarily associated with headcount reductions. Costs incurred include cash severance and non-cash severance, including other termination benefits. Severance and other termination benefit packages are based on established benefit arrangements or local statutory requirements and we recognized the contractual component of these benefits when payment was probable and could be reasonably estimated.

 

Non-cash charges for the inventory write-off in 2023 included the impact of the Company discontinuing the sale of certain product SKUs, the impact of having proactively secured materials during the 2020-2022 pandemic period to meet accelerated demand during a challenging supply chain environment in the industry, and the impact of closing manufacturing facilities and production lines which include inventory that could not be repurposed. Where demand has reduced, finished goods and raw materials, the value of which exceeded the projected requirements to be used before reaching their expiration date, were written off.

The non-cash inventory write-off in 2024 includes the impact of the Company discontinuing the sale of certain product SKUs and is also the result of the further evaluation of inventory positions in unusually turbulent market supply conditions. This further evaluation took into consideration the market reset that continued into 2024 and resulted in new senior product management leadership updating product strategies. With these updated strategies, future demand and product mix projections were revised as a part of the Company’s annual strategic planning and budget sessions in 2024. Where the value of finished goods and raw materials exceeded the projected requirements to be used before reaching their expiration date, or in a reasonable time horizon, they were written off.

In the fourth quarter of 2024, non-cash charges were recognized for the write-off of abandoned equipment in connection with unneeded capacity related to a specific product line that was also included in the 2024 inventory adjustment. The Company’s manufacturing strategy and footprint were also reviewed as a part of our 2024 annual strategic planning and budget session. For

this product line, capacity was expanded during the pandemic period, and current projections indicate it will not be needed in a usable time-period. The factory space will be reallocated for the production of other product lines.
