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. In conjunction with the strategic exit of the PM sensor product line, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement related to the sale of the PM sensor product line during the first quarter of 2021. Refer to Note 16 of the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details regarding the sale. As a result of the PM sensor restructuring actions, the Company recognized expense of $1,369 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 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 March 31, 2021 restructuring related costs of $650, $638 and $81 were recognized in COGS, SG&A and D&D, 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 $800 to $3,600 and is related to employee severance and termination costs, contract terminations costs and other related costs such as potential commercial and supplier settlements. We anticipate that these costs will be incurred through the fourth quarter of 2021. The expenses for the exit of the PM sensor line that relate to the Control Devices reportable segment include the following:
