Additionally, 17 employees were terminated at the Edmonton and Medicine Hat facilities in Alberta, Canada.
Outlook, Risks, and Management Commentary
Management attributes the restructuring to significant weakness in the markets served by CPI, particularly the oil and gas sector. Approximately 90% of the restructuring expenses are expected to be recognized in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015, with the remainder in the first half of fiscal 2016. Cash outflows are projected to occur over fiscal years 2015 through 2018, with 40% in Q4 2015, 30% in 2016, and 30% in 2017-2018.
