Restructuring Charges [Abstract] |
Restructuring Charges | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES We periodically take action to improve operating efficiencies, typically in connection with business acquisitions or changes in the economic environment. Our footprint and headcount reductions and organizational integration actions relate to discrete, unique restructuring events, primarily reflected in the following plans: In the second quarter of 2015, we committed to a restructuring plan to integrate our Italian legacy operations with those of Indesit. The industrial restructuring plan, which was approved by the relevant labor unions in July 2015 and signed by the Italian government in August 2015, provides for the closure or repurposing of certain manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions at other facilities. In addition, the restructuring plan provides for headcount reductions in the salaried employee workforce. We estimate that we will incur up to €179 million (approximately $191 million as of March 31, 2017) in employee-related costs, €25 million (approximately $27 million as of March 31, 2017) in asset impairment costs, and €37 million (approximately $40 million as of March 31, 2017) in other associated costs in connection with these actions. These actions will be substantially complete in 2019. We estimate €209 million (approximately $223 million as of March 31, 2017) of the estimated €241 million (approximately $257 million as of March 31, 2017) total cost will result in cash expenditures. On January 24, 2017 the Company and certain of its subsidiary companies began consultations with certain works councils and other regulatory agencies in connection with the Company’s proposal to restructure its EMEA dryer manufacturing operations. Company management authorized the initiation of such consultations on December 30, 2016. These actions are expected to result in changing the operations at the Company's Yate, U.K. facility to focus on manufacturing for U.K. consumer needs only; ending production in 2018 in Amiens, France; and concentrating the production of dryers for non-U.K. consumer needs in Lodz, Poland. The Company anticipates that approximately 500 positions would be impacted by these actions. The Company expects these actions to be substantially complete in 2018. The Company estimates that it will incur up to approximately €59 million (approximately $63 million as of March 31, 2017) in employee-related costs, approximately €11 million (approximately $11 million as of March 31, 2017) in asset impairment costs, and approximately €10 million (approximately $11 million as of March 31, 2017) in other associated costs in connection with these actions. The Company estimates that approximately €69 million (approximately $73 million as of March 31, 2017) of the estimated €79 million (approximately $85 million as of March 31, 2017) total cost will result in future cash expenditures. The following table summarizes the change to our restructuring liability for the period ended March 31, 2017:
