Separation Program
In 2024 we offered a voluntary retirement incentive package of severance and other benefit enhancements to eligible employees in the United States and Canada as part of our commitment to optimizing our cost structure and providing professional development opportunities to our employees. Later in 2024 we expanded the program to include involuntary separations. The voluntary offer period ended on June 14, 2024. Costs primarily comprise of compensation expense and enhanced medical benefits, and are charged to restructuring and integration expenses in our statement of operations as a one-time termination benefit. Voluntary retirement incentive costs were recognized when the employee accepted the offer or are being recognized over their remaining period of service based on the agreed retirement date. Involuntary separation costs were recognized when the respective criteria were met and expenses were recorded either during the third quarter of 2024 or over the remaining service period for the affected employees. We anticipate that the program will be substantially complete by the end of 2027. Additional restructuring costs related to the initiative are expected to be immaterial. The total restructuring expenses recorded to date are $7.7 million.

Cost Reduction Initiative
In 2022, to further our ongoing efforts to improve operating efficiencies and reduce costs, we announced plans for a reduction in our sales force, and initiated plans to relocate certain product lines from our Independence, Kansas manufacturing facility and from our St. Thomas, Canada manufacturing facility to our manufacturing facilities in Reynosa, Mexico. In 2025, we extended the program for plans to relocate additional product lines from certain plants in the United States and Canada to our existing manufacturing facilities in Mexico. We anticipate that the initiative will be substantially completed by the end of 2026. Additional restructuring costs related to the initiative are expected to be immaterial. The total restructuring expenses recorded to date are $6.6 million.
