Restructuring Charges
In the three and six months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded a restructuring expense of $0.2 million related to employee termination costs that spanned all three segments (the 2018 restructuring).
In the second quarter of fiscal year 2017, the Company approved a restructuring plan (the 2017 restructuring), including discontinuing development of the ClearLink Distributed Antenna System (DAS), a general reduction of headcount that spanned all three segments, and consolidation of facilities in Manchester, NH and Aurora, IL. The Company recognized a restructuring expense of $2.6 million in the six months ended September 30, 2016. The 2017 restructuring costs totaled $3.2 million in the twelve months ended March 31, 2017, inclusive of non-cash charges of approximately $1.2 million related to losses on leased facilities, $1.3 million of employee termination costs, and $0.7 million of other associated costs. In the six months ended September 30, 2016, a $1.2 million impairment charge of fixed assets and $1.6 million of E&O expense for ClearLink DAS inventory and pipeline inventory, associated with the IBW segment was recognized. The planned restructuring was substantially completed by March 31, 2017.
As of September 30, 2017, $0.4 million of the restructuring costs, related to employee termination costs from the 2018 restructuring and the office space from the 2017 restructuring, are unpaid and accrued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets presented in Accrued restructuring. As of March 31, 2017, $1.2 million and $63,000 of the restructuring costs, primarily related to the office space from the 2015 restructuring and 2017 restructuring, are unpaid and accrued on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets presented in Accrued restructuring and Accrued restructuring non-current, respectively. The restructuring costs are expected to be paid in full by the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 concurrent with the termination date of the contractual lease in Manchester, NH.
