Charges Related to Restructuring Activities

Note Q – Charges related to restructuring activities

During 2015, the Company reconfigured one of its operations within its Asia Pacific segment by reducing its workforce and manufacturing facilities while outsourcing its production predominantly to its locations with lower cost operations. This was done in response to a slowdown in economic activity in the region as well as continued downward market pressure on prices. Total costs related to this reconfiguration were $2.7 million. Additionally, the Company initiated a reconfiguration in the PLP-USA segment which was primarily a reduction in personnel and facilities in response to downward market pressure on prices. The total charges for the PLP-USA segment are anticipated to be $1.3 million. Both of these actions are expected to reduce infrastructure and manufacturing costs. The restructuring liability is recorded in Accrued compensation and amounts withheld from employees, Accrued expenses and other liabilities and Other noncurrent liabilities. These costs are included in Cost of products sold ($3.4 million), Research and engineering expense ($.1 million) and Other operating expense ($.5 million).

 

A summary by reporting segment of the accruals recorded as a result of the restructuring is as follows:
