Restructuring Costs
Fiscal 2014
On June 25, 2014, the Company committed to a plan to permanently close its distribution facility located in Carson, California (the “Carson Distribution Facility”) effective July 25, 2014. The Company consolidated the Carson Distribution Facility’s distribution and warehousing operations into the Company’s existing distribution facilities located in LaSalle, Illinois and Chesapeake, Virginia. This consolidation was part of the Company’s continued efforts for simplification and improved efficiencies. The closure of the Carson Distribution Facility resulted in a head count reduction of approximately 77 employees.
The following table summarizes the charges related to the restructure recognized during the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015:
Substantially all of the unsold inventory in the Carson Distribution Facility on the date of closure was moved to the remaining two warehouses. Costs related to inventory transfers were recorded to cost of sales. A charge for $130 was taken for inventory that was not deemed economical to transfer. Additionally, due to expected future capacity constraints, the Company reduced the sales price of certain inventory resulting in a charge of $767. The aggregate charge of $897 was recorded to cost of sales. The severance charges and relocation costs were included in fulfillment expense. Severance charges were reduced by $26 in the fourth quarter of 2014 as certain employees were able to find employment before they became eligible for severance benefits. As of January 3, 2015, there was no severance payable.
Fiscal 2013
In the first half of 2013, we laid off 13 employees in the United States and 163 employees in the Philippines reducing our workforce by a total of 176 employees in the first quarter of 2013 and 15 employees in the second quarter of 2013. For the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013, the severance charges of approximately $723 were recorded in marketing expense, general and administrative expense, fulfillment expense and technology expense for $394, $109, $58 and $162, respectively. As of December 28, 2013, there was no severance payable and there were no adjustments made to severance payable during the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.
Fiscal 2012
In August 2012, we closed our call center in LaSalle, Illinois and reduced our workforce by 71 people resulting in severance charges of approximately $640 recorded in marketing expense, fulfillment expense and technology expense of $396, $228 and $16, respectively.
All restructuring costs incurred in fiscal years 2014, 2013 and 2012 are included in the Base USAP reportable segment.
