Evolving Business Needs

Evolving business needs have resulted in workforce reductions since 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, special charges included estimated employee termination benefits of $0.8 million. Centrus expects to make related payments in the second and third quarters of 2017.

In the second quarter of 2016, the Company commenced a project to align its corporate structure to the scale of its ongoing business operations and to update related information technology systems. The Company incurred advisory costs of $1.6 million related to the reengineering project in the three months ended March 31, 2017.

Piketon Demonstration Facility

In September 2015, Centrus completed a successful three-year demonstration of its American Centrifuge technology at its facility in Piketon, Ohio. The demonstration effort was primarily funded by the U.S. government. As a result of reduced program funding, Centrus incurred a special charge in the third quarter of 2015 for estimated employee termination benefits. Of the remaining $5.4 million liability as of March 31, 2017, $3.3 million is classified as current and included in Accounts Payable and Accrued Liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The remaining $2.1 million is included in Other Long-Term Liabilities and is expected to be paid through 2019.
