Results of Operations and Financial Condition
On
February
23, 2016
, Lexmark International, Inc. (the "Company") issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31,
2015
. The text of the press release announcing the finan
cial results is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 2.05
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
As part of Lexmark's ongoing plans to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of its operations, the
Company announced restructuring actions (the "2016 Restructuring Actions") designed to increase profitability and operational efficiency primarily in its ISS segment. These restructuring actions are expected to focus on optimizing the Company's ISS struct
ure,
primarily
to address the effects of the strong U.S. dollar
,
and
are
aligned with the strategic alternatives process
announced by the Company in October of 2015
.
The 2016 Restructuring Actions are expected to impact about 550 positions worldwide over
the next 12-month period with a portion of the positions being shifted to low-cost countries. Currently, Lexmark has approximately 14,000 employees worldwide.
The 2016 Restructuring Actions will result in total pre-tax charges, including project costs of a
pproximately $6
5
million, with $40 million accrued
at December 31, 2015
and the remainder to be incurred in 2016. The Company expects the total cash costs of the 2016 Restructuring Actions to be approximately $59 million, with $40 million accrued
at Decemb
er 31, 2015
and approximately $19 million to be incurred in 2016. The anticipated timing of cash outlays for the 2016 Restructuring Actions are expected to be in 2016.
Lexmark expects the 2016 Restructuring Actions to generate cash
savings of $67 million
in 2016 and ongoing annual savings of approximately $100 million
beginning
in 2017, all
of which will be cash savings.
These ongoing savings should be split approximately 90% to
Operating expense
and 10% to
Cost of revenue
.
The Company expects these
actions to be complete by the end of 2016.
