Item 2.05.    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On March 31, 2021, Mueller Water Products, Inc. (the “Company”) approved further restructuring plans as part of the previously announced multi-year investment to modernize the Company’s manufacturing facilities and processes. These activities are expected to accelerate product development, drive operational efficiencies, reduce expenses, further advance the Company’s environmental initiatives and continue to optimize its global footprint. With this continued restructuring, the Company expects to close facilities in Aurora, Illinois and Surrey, British Columbia, Canada. Most of the activities from these plants will be consolidated into the new facility in Kimball, Tennessee, which focuses on specialty valves and works closely with the Company’s foundries in Chattanooga, Tennessee, and Albertville, Alabama. The Company will begin to implement this restructuring immediately and expects to substantially complete it by the third quarter of 2022.
The Company expects total expenses related to this restructuring to be approximately $14 million, including termination benefit costs of about $4 million and other associated expenses of $10 million. Of the total $14 million estimated costs, approximately $4.5 million are expected to be non-cash charges. The majority of the expected savings from these restructuring activities are supportive of the benefits from the previously announced multi-year capital investments. The Company is currently evaluating the impact, if any, the closures will have on its tax position.
Forward-Looking Statements.
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements typically are identified by use of terms such as “will,” “should,” “plan,” “expect,” “anticipate,” and similar words. Except as required by law, the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. Forward-looking statements do not guarantee future performance and the Company’s actual results could differ materially from those contained in forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including the those identified under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s most recently filed Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Annual Report on Form 10-K. Undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements.
