NOTE 4—CHANGES IN BUSINESS Restructuring Charges In 2018, the Company made the decision to relocate its corporate headquarters to Tucker, Georgia and vacated its leased office space in Irving, Texas on September 30, 2018. In March 2019, the Company subleased the Irving, Texas office space until November 2019, when the lease expires. The Company recorded exit costs related to the leased office space and the termination of certain personnel, which were included in restructuring charges in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. The following table shows exit costs included in other current liabilities and accrued compensation and benefits on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet:
The following table presents the major classes of items constituting restructuring expenses on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations:
Discontinued Operations Electrical Solutions During the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company made the decision to exit and sell its Electrical Solutions segment in an effort to reduce the Company’s outstanding term debt. The Company determined that the decision to exit this segment met the definition of a discontinued operation. As a result, this segment has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. As a result of the Company’s decision to sell the Electrical Solutions segment, the Company performed an impairment analysis on this segment’s finite- and indefinite-lived intangible assets (customer relationships and trade names, respectively) and determined that their carrying value exceeded their fair value. As a result, in the fourth quarter of 2017, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $9.7 million related to these intangible assets. The impairment charge was included in loss from discontinued operations before income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. After the impairment charge, the fair value of this segment’s intangible assets was zero at December 31, 2017. Determining fair value is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, considered to be Level 3 inputs. There were no other non-recurring fair value re-measurements related to the Electrical Solutions segment during the years ended December 31, 2018 or 2017. In spite of the Company’s efforts, which included retaining financial advisors to sell all or part of Koontz-Wagner’s operations, inside or outside of a federal bankruptcy or state court proceeding (including Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code), the proposed disposition did not progress as planned due, primarily, to the absence of viable bids in the sale process, the inability of Koontz-Wagner to fund its ongoing operations or obtain financing to do so, and Koontz-Wagner’s deteriorating financial performance. As a result, on July 11, 2018, Koontz-Wagner filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas. The filing was for Koontz-Wagner only, not for the Company as a whole, and was completely separate and distinct from the Williams business and operations. As a result of the July 11, 2018 bankruptcy of Koontz-Wagner, the Company recorded $11.4 million of exit costs, which were included in loss from discontinued operations in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. These charges consisted of a $4.0 million fee related to a fifth amendment to the Initial Centre Lane Facility (as defined below), a pension withdrawal liability of $2.9 million related to Koontz-Wagner’s International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local Union 1392 multi-employer pension plan, a $1.8 million negotiated settlement of the Company’s guarantee of Koontz-Wagner’s Houston facility lease agreement and a $2.7 million liability as a result of the Company providing affected Koontz-Wagner employees with 60 days of salary continuation, as well as the difference between each employee’s cost of health care at the time of their employment termination and the cost of continued benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). The Company satisfied the liability related to the lease guarantee settlement and substantially all of the salary and benefit continuation liability through cash payments as of December 31, 2018. The pension liability is expected to be satisfied by annual cash payments of $0.3 million each, paid in quarterly installments, over the next twenty years. As a result of the bankruptcy of Koontz-Wagner, the Company wrote off the related assets and liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet and recorded a loss of $9.3 million, which was reflected in loss from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. Mechanical Solutions During the third quarter of 2017, the Company made the decision to exit and sell substantially all of the operating assets and liabilities of its Mechanical Solutions segment in an effort to reduce the Company’s outstanding term debt. The Company determined that the decision to exit this segment met the definition of a discontinued operation. As a result, this segment, including TOG Manufacturing Company, Inc., which, along with TOG Holdings, Inc., was sold in July 2016, has been presented as a discontinued operation for all periods presented. The Mechanical Solutions and the Electrical Solutions segments were the only components of the business that qualified for discontinued operations for all periods presented. On October 11, 2017, the Company sold substantially all of the operating assets and liabilities of its Mechanical Solutions segment for $43.0 million and used a portion of the $40.9 million net proceeds to pay down $34.0 million of the Company’s outstanding debt and related fees, including full repayment of the First-Out Loan (as defined below). Additionally, on October 31, 2017, the Company completed the sale of its manufacturing facility in Mexico and auctioned the remaining production equipment and other assets for net proceeds of $3.6 million, of which $1.9 million was used to reduce the principal amount of the Initial Centre Lane Facility. The remainder was used to fund working capital requirements. The Company recorded a total gain of $6.3 million related to these sales, which was included in loss from discontinued operations before income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. The asset and liability excluded from the sale of the Mechanical Solutions segment included the Company’s office building located in Heerlen, Netherlands as well as its liability for uncertain tax positions. This asset and liability was included in current assets of discontinued operations and long-term liabilities of discontinued operations, respectively, in the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet. At the time the Heerlen office building met the “asset held for sale” criteria, its carrying value was $0.5 million; however, the Company subsequently determined that the building’s carrying value exceeded its fair value and, consequently, it recorded an impairment charge of $0.2 million during the fourth quarter of 2017. The impairment charge was included in loss from discontinued operations before income tax expense (benefit) in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2017. After the impairment charge, the fair value of the Heerlen building was $0.3 million at December 31, 2017. Determining fair value is judgmental in nature and requires the use of significant estimates and assumptions, considered to be Level 3 inputs. There were no other non-recurring fair value re-measurements related to the Mechanical Solutions segment during the year ended December 31, 2017. On March 21, 2018, the Company closed on the sale of its office building in Heerlen, Netherlands for $0.3 million, resulting in an immaterial gain on sale, which was reflected in loss from discontinued operations before income tax expense (benefit) in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2018. As discussed above, the Heerlen office was previously included in the Mechanical Solutions segment and, therefore, the carrying value of the building was included in current assets of discontinued operations in the December 31, 2017 consolidated balance sheet. In connection with the sale of its Mechanical Solutions segment, the Company entered into a transition services agreement with the purchaser to provide certain accounting and administrative services for an initial period of nine months. As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the Company provided $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, in services for the purchaser, which was included in general and administrative expenses from continuing operations in the consolidated statements of operations. The following table presents a reconciliation of the carrying amounts of major classes of assets and liabilities of Electrical and Mechanical Solutions’ discontinued operations:
* The total assets of discontinued operations were classified as current on the December 31, 2018 and 2017 consolidated balance sheets because it was probable that the sale would occur and proceeds would be collected within one year. The following table presents a reconciliation of the major classes of line items constituting the net income (loss) from discontinued operations. In accordance with GAAP, the amounts in the table below do not include an allocation of corporate overhead.
Disposition of Hetsco In June 2016, the Company engaged a financial advisor to assist with the sale of its wholly owned subsidiary, Hetsco, Inc. (“Hetsco”) in order to pay down debt. Hetsco was previously included in the Services segment. On January 13, 2017, the Company sold the stock of Hetsco for $23.2 million in cash, inclusive of working capital adjustments. After transaction costs and an escrow withholding of $1.5 million, the net proceeds of $20.2 million were used to reduce debt. In connection with the Company’s decision to sell Hetsco, the net assets were adjusted to estimated fair value less estimated selling expenses, which resulted in a write-down of $8.3 million in 2016. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company recorded a $0.2 million adjustment, which reduced the $8.3 million loss recorded in 2016. A summary of Hetsco’s income (loss) before income taxes for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 was as follows:
