Evolving Business Needs

Evolving business needs have resulted in workforce reductions since 2013. In the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, special charges included estimated employee termination benefits of $0.7 million and $0.8 million, respectively. Centrus expects to make payments primarily in the second quarter of 2018 related to the $1.1 million balance payable at March 31, 2018. In the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company incurred advisory costs of $0.1 million and $1.6 million, respectively, related to updating its information technology systems.

Piketon Demonstration Facility

In February 2016, Centrus completed a successful three-year demonstration of 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 effective October 2015, Centrus incurred a special charge in 2015 for estimated employee termination benefits. Based on current expectations of required employee levels, $0.4 million of the remaining $3.8 million balance as of March 31, 2018, is classified as a current liability in the condensed consolidated balance sheet and the remaining $3.4 million is classified as a long-term liability and is expected to be paid in 2019.
