Substantially all of the restructuring charges recorded during the first nine months of 2013 relate to the completion of consultations with employee works councils in Sélestat and St. Junien, France, which will result in the reduction of approximately 200 employees, most of which will leave the Company during the fourth quarter of 2013. The restructuring program was driven by the Company's need to balance manufacturing capacity and demand. Through the first nine months of 2013, the Company incurred some restructuring costs in the Engineered Composites segment that were related to organizational changes and exiting certain aerospace programs. 2012 restructuring expenses were principally due to a reduction in workforce in Sweden and curtailment of manufacturing in New York and Wisconsin, driven by lower demand for paper machine clothing. Those costs were partially offset by a reduction in accruals related to the Company's headquarters. There were no material changes in the total assets of the reportable segments during this period.
