Management Actions
During the first quarter of 2019, we implemented a restructuring action to further our integration efforts related to the IPC Group. The pre-tax charge of $4.3 million consisting of severance was included within Selling and Administrative Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. The charge impacted our EMEA operating segment. We estimate the savings will offset the pre-tax charge approximately one year from the date of the action.
A reconciliation of the beginning and ending liability balances is as follows:
