RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES [Abstract] |
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES | (11)RESTRUCTURING CHARGES, INTEGRATION CHARGES AND IMPAIRMENT LOSSES Restructuring Charges During the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company continued restructuring activities primarily associated with reductions in the Company’s capacity, workforce and related management in both segments to better align the capacity and workforce with current business needs. During 2017, several restructuring activities were completed related to an acquisition including the closure of two delivery centers that came with the acquisition. During 2017, a net $0.4 million severance accrual was recorded in relation to these closures. In conjunction with closing these two delivery centers, a $0.6 million termination fee and a $1.4 million net lease liability and applicable expenses were recorded as of December 31, 2017. These net charges were included in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the year ended December 31, 2017. During 2018, in connection with one of these delivery centers, an early termination option was exercised and a $1.9 million fee was expensed and recorded in Restructuring, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). During 2018, TTEC determined it would close several other delivery centers in the Engage segment and a net $2.9 million was expensed related to early termination fees and cease use lease accruals. These expenses are included in the Restructuring and integration charges, net in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) as of December 31, 2018.

The remaining restructuring accruals are expected to be paid or extinguished during 2020 and are all classified as current liabilities within Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Integration Charges During the third and fourth quarters of 2017, as a result of the Connextions acquisition, certain integration activities were completed and $5.6 million and $3.9 million of additional expenses were incurred and paid, respectively. These integration activities included the hiring, training and licensing of a group of employees at new delivery centers as one of the acquired centers was closed during the third quarter of 2017 and one of the acquired centers was closed during the fourth quarter of 2017. In connection with these center closures, leasehold improvements of $3.5 million were written off as a related integration expense. The Company has also incurred significant expenses related to the integration of the IT systems and has paid duplicative software costs and facilities expenses for several areas during the transition period. Impairment Losses During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain customer engagement centers. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group are estimated to be less than the asset group’s carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During 2019, 2018 and 2017, the Company recognized impairment losses related to leasehold improvement assets of zero, $1.1 million and zero, respectively, in its Engage segment.
