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”) on 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 thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended September 27, 2014 (in thousands):
The severance costs were included in fulfillment and marketing expense in the second quarter of fiscal 2014 and were paid during the third quarter of fiscal 2014.
Substantially all of the unsold inventory in the Carson warehouse on the date of closure was moved to the remaining two warehouses. A charge for $130 was taken during the second quarter of 2014 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 $348 during the second quarter of 2014. The aggregate charge of $478, was recorded to cost of sales. The severance charges and relocation costs were included in fulfillment expense. All restructuring costs incurred in connection with the closure of the Carson Distribution Facility are included in the Base USAP reportable segment.
