plan to cease production at its Lamons Gasket (Lamons) Reynosa,
Mexico facility, which is included in its Energy segment.
Management decided the added capacity from the recently launched
Reynosa facility would not be needed as a result of prolonged lower
crude exploration and refining activity, leading to significantly
lower end market demand, as well as improved manufacturing
efficiency at a sister production location. As such, Lamons will
consolidate production at its Reynosa facility into its Houston,
Texas facility. Lamons expects to exit the facility by June 30,
2017.
to range from $2.0 million to $2.5 million, approximately half of
which are expected to be non-cash related. These charges are
primarily related to planned asset relocation and disposition, as
well as expected employee separation costs. In addition, Lamons is
party to a lease agreement for the Reynosa facility, for which it
has future non-cancellable rent obligations of approximately $4.5
million following the anticipated exit date. The Company may incur
a charge to the extent this obligation is greater than estimated
future sublease recoveries. All estimated amounts are subject to
change until finalized. Charges related to plant relocation and
employee separation costs are expected to be recognized during the
period from March 28, 2017 through June 30, 2017, and the charge,
if any, for unrecoverable lease obligations will be recognized upon
the cease-use date of the plant, which is expected to be in second
quarter 2017.
