Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On November 5, 2014, Kimball International, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a capacity utilization restructuring plan which includes the consolidation of its metal fabrication production from its operation located in Post Falls, Idaho, into existing production facilities in Indiana. Improvement of customer delivery, supply chain dynamics, and transportation costs were key factors in this decision. The transfer of work will involve the start-up of metal fabrication capabilities in a company-owned facility, along with the transfer of certain assembly operations into two additional company-owned facilities, all located in southern Indiana. The manufacturing capacity realignment will be carefully managed over a period of seven to eight quarters to ensure no customer disruptions. The consolidation activities will begin immediately and the Company is actively marketing for sale the Post Falls, Idaho facility.
The Company currently estimates that the pre-tax restructuring charges related to the consolidation activities will be approximately $8.9 million with approximately $3.0 million to be recorded in the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, and the remainder is expected to be incurred over the remaining anticipated transition period. The restructuring charges are expected to consist of approximately $5.7 million of transition, training, and other employee costs, $3.0 million of plant closure and other exit costs, and $0.2 million of non-cash asset impairment. Approximately 97% of the total cost estimate is expected to be cash expense. Incremental capital for equipment purchases to transfer this operation to Indiana is approximately $5 million, exclusive of the capital reduction that is estimated to occur upon the sale of the Post Falls facility. No significant operating income changes are anticipated as a result of this restructuring until the later quarters of the transfer of work. When fully implemented in seven to eight quarters, the Company anticipates pre-tax savings of approximately $5 million per year thereafter.
On November 5, 2014, the Company issued a press release announcing this capacity utilization restructuring plan which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Certain statements contained within this document are considered “forward-looking” under the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
