(18) Restructuring and Exit Activity Costs

Restructuring Plan Objectives and Status of Execution

In 2023, the Company commenced a multi-faceted restructuring plan (the “2023 Restructuring Plan”) to improve operating efficiencies throughout the organization and drive long-term value creation. The key initiatives of the plan, some of which are ongoing, were announced throughout 2023 and have included:

•improving manufacturing efficiencies related to the Company’s European metal printer operations by (1) in-sourcing certain metal printer platforms into the Company’s Riom, France manufacturing facility and (2) co-locating the engineering and manufacturing of in-sourced metal printer products in order to improve cycle time from development to production;

•reducing headcount throughout all functions and areas of the organization;

•rationalizing the Company's geographic footprint through the exit of leased facilities; and

•reducing certain third-party costs.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has substantially completed its in-sourcing activities. Actions taken to reduce headcount commenced during the year ended December 31, 2023, continued throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and are expected to be substantially completed during the quarter ended June 30, 2024. Beginning during our fourth quarter ended December 31, 2023, and continuing throughout the quarter ended March 31, 2024, the Company (1) has been identifying and evaluating its opportunities to exit leased facilities, (2) has been both developing and starting to execute against its relocation plans, and (3) has begun to market facilities that have been successfully exited for sublease. The decision-making, planning and execution related to our planned facility exits will continue throughout 2024.

2023 Restructuring Plan Costs, Cash Settlements and Recognized Liabilities

Since inception of the 2023 Restructuring Plan, we have incurred $8,293 related to headcount reductions, inclusive of $51 which has been recognized in our consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024. These charges relate to employee severance and termination benefit costs that are generally recognized when probable and estimable because they are typically being determined consistent with the Company’s past practices or statutory law. We currently expect aggregate costs related to our headcount reduction activities to be in the range of $9,000 to $10,000 when this initiative is completed.

We expect to incur additional cash expenditures related to our planned facility exits and relocation activities, which will be recognized as incurred. We also may incur non-cash impairment charges as a result of exiting leased facilities if the carrying values of the related right-of-use asset balances and other related asset balances (e.g., leasehold improvements) will not be fully recoverable through our efforts to sublease an exited facility. Since inception of our 2023 Restructuring Plan, our consolidated financial statements have not reflected material transactions or charges resulting from decisions to exit facilities because either (1) the Company has not ceased use of a facility that it plans to exit or (2) an individual facility (and any related assets, as applicable) do not yet qualify to be measured for impairment separate from the asset group to which it has historically belonged, which would generally occur when we have entered into a sublease.

The following table provides details regarding restructuring charges recorded and amounts that were settled with cash during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as well as our remaining accrued liability reported in our consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2024:
