Restructuring Costs

 

On an ongoing basis, the Company reviews the global economy, the healthcare industry, and the markets in which it competes to identify operational efficiencies and align its cost base and infrastructure with customer needs and its strategic plans. In order to realize these goals, the Company undertakes activities from time to time to optimize its business.

 

In January 2026, the Company announced a comprehensive plan, referred to as Project Viking, for the strategic consolidation of its manufacturing operations to improve efficiency and support long-term growth. The Company is expected to close its manufacturing facility in Holliston, MA and transition U.S. production to its manufacturing hub in Minneapolis, MN. Certain operations will also be relocated to facilities in Germany, Sweden, and the UK, intended to align specific product lines with their designated center of excellence and most strategically advantageous logistical location. The Company expects the initiative to deliver approximately $3 million in cost savings in 2027, and approximately $4 million in annual cost savings beginning in 2028, while improving throughput and execution. The Company expects to incur pre-tax restructuring charges related to Project Viking in the range of approximately $3.4 to $4.4 million, including non-cash asset write-off and/or accelerated depreciation charges in the range of approximately $0.6 to $0.7 million, primarily related to the exit of production activities and manufacturing operations at the Holliston, MA site. These amounts are estimates and are subject to future changes.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company completed restructurings and incurred expenses of $0.2 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These costs primarily consisted of retention and severance incurred in connection with headcount reductions in Europe and North America.

 

The changes in the accrued liabilities for restructuring and other charges for the three months ended March 31, 2026 were as follows:

 

The severance and other costs detailed above have been included as a component of other operating expenses, and all inventory-related charges are included in cost of revenues.
