Note N — Restructuring Activities

 

Our management team continuously reviews and adjusts our cost structure and operating footprint, optimize our operations, and invest in improved technology.  During 2020, in an effort to right-size our operating footprint, we terminated leases in Wilkes Barre (PA) and Grand Prairie (TX) and exited our last direct mail facility in Jacksonville (FL).  We completed the migration of our fulfillment business from the Grand Prairie (TX) operations into a new 400,000 square foot facility in Kansas City (KS) in December 2020.  In the first quarter of 2021, we completed the migration of our Shawnee (KS) operations to Kansas City (KS).  The Shawnee (KS) facility lease expired on  April 30, 2021.  The new Kansas City location is now our primary facility in the Midwest. In 2020, we successfully reduced the footprint of our Customer Care business by reducing our Austin (TX) office location by approximately 50,000 square feet in addition to exiting one of our two Manila offices since the business is operating effectively in a work-from-home environment. 

 

For the years ended  December 31, 2021 and 2020, we recorded restructuring charges of $6.4 million and $9.4 million, respectively.  The 2021 restructuring charges included $2.5 million of severance charges, $0.9 million in lease impairment expense and $3.0 million of facility related and other expenses. The 2020 restructuring charges included $3.0 million of lease impairment charges related to the exit from our direct mail facilities, $2.5 million of severance charges, $1.3 million in capital losses from the asset disposal associated with the Summit deal and $2.9 million of facility related and other expenses as well as $0.3 million credit to previously accrued contract termination fees.

In connection with our cost-saving and restructuring initiatives, we incurred total restructuring charges of $27.6 million through the end of 2021.  For the years ended  December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019, we recognized $6.4 million, $9.4 million and $11.8 million of restructuring expense, respectively.  We do not expect to incur additional restructuring charges after 2021.
