4. | Restructuring Charges
Subsequent to the acquisition of Xcerra, during the fourth quarter of 2018, we began a strategic restructuring program designed to reposition our organization and improve our cost structure as part of our targeted integration plan regarding the recently acquired Xcerra (“Integration Program”). As part of the Integration Program we consolidated our global handler and contactor manufacturing operations and closed our manufacturing operations in Penang, Malaysia and Fontana, California in 2019. In 2019, we began the Integration Program of our German operations and entered a social plan with the German labor organization representing certain of the employees of our wholly owned subsidiary, Multitest elektronische Systeme GmbH. During the fourth quarter of 2020 we implemented a voluntary program and termination agreements with certain employees of our wholly owned subsidiary, Cohu GmbH. These programs collectively reduced headcount, enabled us to consolidate the facilities of our multiple operations located near Kolbermoor and Rosenheim, Germany, as well as transitioned certain manufacturing to other lower cost regions. The facility consolidations and reduction in force programs were implemented as part of a comprehensive review of our operations and are intended to streamline and reduce our operating cost structure and capitalize on acquisition synergies. As a result of the activities described above, we recognized total pretax charges of $0.2 million, $1.3 million and $11.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, respectively, that are within the scope of ASC 420. All costs of the Integration Program were, and are expected to be, incurred by our Semiconductor Test & Inspection segment. Charges related to the Integration Program for the years ended December 31, 2022, December 25, 2021 and December 26, 2020, were as follows (in thousands):
(in thousands) |  | 2022 |  |  | 2021 |  |  | 2020 |
Employee severance costs |  | $ | (8 | ) |  | $ | 1,161 |  |  | $ | 6,485 |
Inventory related charges (adjustments) |  |  | (454 | ) |  |  | (558 | ) |  |  | 3,731 |
Other restructuring costs |  |  | 613 |  |  |  | 662 |  |  |  | 1,138 |
Total |  | $ | 151 |  |  | $ | 1,265 |  |  | $ | 11,354 |
Costs associated with restructuring activities are presented in our consolidated statements of operations as restructuring charges, except for certain costs associated with inventory charges related to the decision to end manufacturing of certain of Xcerra’s semiconductor test handler products, which are classified within cost of sales. Other restructuring costs include expenses for professional fees associated with employee severance, impairments of fixed assets and facility closure costs. The following table summarizes the activity within the restructuring related accounts for the Integration Program during the years ended December 31, 2022 and December 25, 2021 (in thousands):
