Exit Charges Fiscal 2024 Program Renewables On November 8, 2023, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to stop production and operations of residential renewable energy products, which include our OutBack and Mojave brands. Management determined that residential renewable energy products no longer fit with the company’s core strategy and resources will be better allocated toward commercial energy solutions for enterprise customers. The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $23,500. Non-cash charges for inventory and fixed assets write offs, and impairment of an indefinite-lived intangible asset are estimated to be $22,600, and cash charges for employee severance and retention payments are estimated to be $900. The plan is expected to be completed in fiscal 2024. During the nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded non-cash charges totaling $6,572 primarily related to indefinite-lived intangible asset write-off and cash charges of $438 related to severance costs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $16,067, which was reported in cost of goods sold. Spokane On November 8, 2023, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Spokane, Washington, which primarily manufactures enclosure systems for telecommunications and related end markets. Management determined that existing manufacturing locations have the capacity to satisfy demand for these products and will execute more efficient distribution to customers. The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $3,600 relating to $700 in cash charges for employee severance, and non-cash charges of $2,900 relating to fixed assets, facility lease, and inventory. The plan is expected to be completed in fiscal 2024. During the nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges of $585 primarily related to severance costs and non-cash charges totaling $481 related to fixed asset write offs. Fiscal 2023 Programs Sylmar In November 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Sylmar, California, which manufactures specialty lithium batteries for aerospace and medical applications. Management determined to close the site upon the expiration of its lease on the property and to redirect production through consolidation into existing locations. The Company currently estimates total charges in the exit to amount to $11,758. Cash charges are estimated to total $7,865 primarily relating to severance and other costs to leave the site. Non-cash charges are estimated to be $3,893 relating to fixed assets, inventory, and contract assets. The plan is expected to be completed in fiscal 2024. During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges of $1,682 related primarily related to severance costs and non-cash charges totaling $417 primarily relating to contract assets. During the nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges of $6,183 primarily related to severance costs, relocation expenses, and manufacturing variances and non-cash charges totaling $377. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $3,098, which was reported in cost of goods sold. Ooltewah On June 29, 2022, the Company committed to a plan to close its facility in Ooltewah, Tennessee, which produced flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for traditional motive power flooded cells will decrease as customers transition to maintenance free product solutions in lithium and TPPL. The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $18,500. Cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses are estimated to be $9,200 and non-cash charges from inventory and fixed asset write-offs are estimated to be $9,300. These actions will result in the reduction of approximately 165 employees. The majority of these charges are expected to be recorded by the end of calendar 2023. During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges relating to severance and manufacturing variances of $2,735 and non-cash charges of $7,261 relating to fixed asset write-offs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $1,613, which was reported in cost of goods sold. During the nine months of fiscal 2024, the Company recorded cash charges relating to site cleanup and decommissioning equipment of $3,505. Fiscal 2021 Program Hagen, Germany In fiscal 2021, the Company's Board of Directors approved a plan to close substantially all of its facility in Hagen, Germany, which produced flooded motive power batteries for electric forklifts. Management determined that future demand for the motive power batteries produced at this facility was not sufficient, given the conversion from flooded to maintenance free batteries by customers, the existing number of competitors in the market, as well as the near term decline in demand and increased uncertainty from the pandemic. The Company plans to retain the facility with limited sales, service and administrative functions along with related personnel for the foreseeable future. The Company currently estimates that the total charges for these actions will amount to approximately $60,000, of which cash charges for employee severance related payments, cleanup related to the facility, contractual releases and legal expenses were estimated to be $40,000 and non-cash charges from inventory and equipment write-offs were estimated to be $20,000. The majority of these charges were recorded as of January 1, 2023. These actions resulted in the reduction of approximately 200 employees. During fiscal 2021, the Company recorded cash charges relating to severance of $23,331 and non-cash charges of $7,946 primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs. During fiscal 2022, the Company recorded cash charges primarily relating to severance of $8,069 and non-cash charges of $3,522 primarily relating to fixed asset write-offs. The Company also recorded a non-cash write off relating to inventories of $960, which was reported in cost of goods sold. During fiscal 2023, the Company recorded cash charges of $2,207 relating to primarily to site cleanup and $562 of non-cash charges relating to accelerated depreciation of fixed assets.
