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 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 and signed by the Italian government in 2015, and which was amended in an agreement with the labor unions and Italian government in 2018, provided for the closure or repurposing of certain manufacturing facilities and headcount reductions at other facilities. In addition, the restructuring plan provided for headcount reductions in the salaried employee workforce. These actions were complete at December 31, 2019. In 2018, we announced actions in EMEA to reduce fixed costs by $50 million. The initiatives primarily include headcount reductions throughout the EMEA region. Additionally, we exited domestic sales operations in Turkey. At December 31, 2019, approximately $2 million remains to be expensed and the actions are substantially complete. On May 31, 2019, we announced our intention to reconvert our Naples, Italy manufacturing plant and potentially sell the plant to a third party. On September 16, 2019, we entered into a preliminary agreement to sell the plant to a third-party purchaser and to support costs associated with the transition. Finalization of the transaction is subject to satisfaction of certain conditions precedent, including consultation with the unions and the Italian government. In October 2019, we announced that, based on further discussions with unions and the Italian government, we will continue production at the Naples manufacturing plant in the near-term and resume negotiations with unions and the Italian government related to our exit of the plant. Our preliminary agreement to sell the plant to a third-party purchaser remains in place, subject to these further negotiations. We intend to cease production in the plant and exit the facility in 2020. In connection with this action, we incurred approximately $43 million in asset impairment costs, $8 million in other associated costs and $3 million in employee-related costs at December 31, 2019. We have revised our prior estimate of total costs from $127 million to approximately $145 million due to an additional $18 million of asset impairment costs incurred in the fourth quarter of 2019. We estimate that the remaining costs of approximately $91 million, including approximately $16 million in employee-related costs and approximately $75 million in other associated costs, will be incurred in 2020. The Company also believes that substantially all of the $98 million in estimated cash expenditures will occur in 2020. We expect these actions to be completed in 2020. The following table summarizes the restructuring actions above for the year ended December 31, 2019 and the total costs to date for each plan:
