Restructuring Update

The restructuring plan announced on May 1, 2024, primarily focused on the company's mattress fabrics segment, was substantially complete as of the end of the third quarter. The company still expects to generate $10.0 - $11.0 million in annualized savings and operating improvements following the restructuring, with most of the benefits beginning to be realized during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025.

Based on completed restructuring activities, along with remaining restructuring estimates primarily related to limited ongoing building maintenance in Canada, the company now expects to incur total restructuring and restructuring-related costs and charges of $8.5 million in fiscal 2025, of which $5.3 million is now expected to be cash expenditures. The company still expects to fund close to $1.8 million of the cash costs with proceeds from the sale of excess manufacturing equipment and proceeds from a building lease termination in Haiti.

These restructuring and restructuring-related costs and charges exclude any gain on the sale of owned real estate in Canada, the amount and precise timing of which is currently unknown, which would ultimately reduce the total amount of charges incurred. The company has entered into a conditional agreement for the sale of the Canadian real estate, contingent on the satisfaction of certain due diligence and closing conditions. Assuming completion of the transaction, the company currently anticipates receiving approximately $6.0 to $8.0 million in cash proceeds (net of all taxes and commissions).
