RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES

6 Months Ended

Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

In April 2020, the Board approved a multi-phase restructuring plan of up to $105.0 million of total pretax charges related to our previously announced strategic shift and as part of the cost cutting measures implemented in response to the impact of COVID-19 on our business. We expect to incur total pretax charges of up to $105.0 million in connection with the restructuring actions through the end of 2021. We have incurred cumulative Restructuring and related charges of $86.5 million since the inception of the restructuring plan. Our restructuring plan includes workforce reductions of approximately 1,600 positions globally, the exit or discontinuation of the use of certain leases and other assets, impairments of our right-of-use and other long-lived assets, and the exit of our operations in Japan and New Zealand. In the first quarter 2021, we substantially liquidated our subsidiary in Japan and reclassified $32.3 million of cumulative foreign currency translation gains into earnings, which is presented in Other income (expense), net on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The majority of our restructuring charges are expected to be paid in cash and primarily relate to employee severance and benefits expenses, facilities-related costs and professional advisory fees. We will continue to evaluate our cost structure, including additional workforce reductions, as part of our restructuring plan. Costs incurred related to the restructuring plan are classified as Restructuring and related charges on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The following tables summarize costs incurred by segment related to the restructuring plans for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

As a part of our restructuring plan, we vacated, terminated or modified several of our leased facilities, and some of those facilities are being actively marketed for sublease or we are in negotiations with the landlord to potentially terminate or modify those leases. During the second quarter 2020, we recognized $13.9 million in restructuring charges related to the impairment of right-of-use assets and leasehold improvements related to those leases as we reduced the carrying value of those assets to their respective fair value. See Note 2, Goodwill and Long-Lived Assets, for additional information. Rent expense, including amortization of the right-of-use asset and accretion of the operating lease liability, sublease income, termination and modification gains and losses, and other variable lease costs related to the leased facilities vacated as part of our restructuring plan are presented within Restructuring and related charges in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The current and non-current liabilities associated with these leases continue to be presented within Other current liabilities and Operating lease obligations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
