Restructuring and Severance Charges [Abstract]

20.	Restructuring and Severance Charges

In 2021, the Company determined to exit the Grow Tech segment, to better align its resources on key strategic initiatives to achieve the future growth objectives and priorities of the core Nu Skin business. The Grow Tech segment was pursuing the commercialization of controlled-environment agriculture for use in the agriculture feed industry. This segment has been operating as part of the Company’s Rhyz strategic investment arm. As a result of the restructuring program, the Company recorded a non-cash charge of $38.5 million in 2021, including $9.2 million for impairment of goodwill, $9.0 million for impairment of intangibles, $13.7 million of fixed asset impairments and $6.6 million for inventory write-off, and $20.0 million of cash charges, including $6.5 million for employee severance and $13.5 million for other related cash charges with our restructuring. The restructuring charges were recorded in the Grow Tech segment. As of December 31, 2021, the $20.0 million liability related to cash charges was recorded within Accrued expenses. During 2022, the Company incurred $5.0 million in incremental cash charges associated with the exit activities and legal settlements. During 2022, the Company made cash payments of $20.0 million, leaving a restructuring accrual of $5.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

In the third quarter of 2022, the Company adopted a strategic plan to focus resources on the Company’s strategic priorities and optimize future growth and profitability. The global program includes workforce reductions and footprint optimization. The Company estimates total charges under the program will approximate $50–$55 million, with $40–$45 million in cash charges of severance and lease termination cost and approximately $10 million of non-cash charges of impairment of fixed assets, acceleration of depreciation and impairment of other intangibles related to the footprint optimization. The Company expects to substantially complete the program during the first half of 2023. During 2022, the Company incurred charges to be settled in cash of $20.1 million in severance charges, $7.4 million in lease termination cost, and $5.2 million in other associated cost, and non-cash charges of $8.2 million in fixed asset impairments, $0.9 million in accelerated depreciation and $1.7 million in impairment of other intangibles. During 2022, the Company made cash payments of $21.0 million related to this global program, leaving an ending restructuring accrual of $11.7 million.
