Business Realignment and Restructuring |
Business Realignment and Restructuring | (12) Business Realignment and Restructuring On May 19, 2020, the Company committed to the strategic exit of its Control Devices particulate matter (“PM”) sensor product line. The decision to exit the PM sensor product line was made after consideration of the decline in the market outlook for diesel passenger vehicles, the current and expected profitability of the product line and the Company’s strategic focus on aligning resources with the greatest opportunities. The Company expects the exit from the PM sensor product line to be completed in the third quarter of 2021. As a result of the PM sensor restructuring actions, the Company recognized expense of $342 and $2,894 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 for non-cash fixed asset charges, including impairment and accelerated depreciation of PM sensor related fixed assets and other related costs. For the three months ended September 30, 2020 restructuring related costs of $340 and $2 were recognized in COGS and SG&A, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 restructuring related costs of $503 and $2,391 were recognized in COGS and SG&A, respectively. The estimated range of additional cost of the plan to exit the PM sensor product line, that will impact the Control Devices segment, is approximately $1,335 and $4,015 and is related to employee severance and termination costs, contract terminations costs, other related costs and non-cash fixed asset charges. We anticipate that these costs will be incurred through the third quarter of 2021. The expenses for the exit of the PM sensor line that relate to the Control Devices reportable segment include the following:
