RESTRUCTURING RELATED EXPENSES
In 2016, we decided to exit the Philippines and streamline operations in Singapore. Total restructuring costs were $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2016, which were recorded primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses as well as in cost of goods sold.
In continuing to execute the on-going strategy of focusing on larger and more profitable markets and in efforts to reduce costs and improve efficiencies, we executed a restructuring plan during the fourth quarter of 2017. As a part of the plan, we eliminated 60 positions worldwide through severance. We also ceased operations in the Costa Rica and Nicaragua markets, and closed the Los Angeles office. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we incurred approximately $1.5 million of non-recurring expenses that are recorded primarily in selling, general and administrative expenses consisting of severance, the write off of remaining lease costs net of contractual sublease payments, and other market exit costs. Of the restructuring expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2017, only $0.8 million of severance and rent expenses remained payable at December 31, 2017.
In 2018, we continued to execute our strategy to reduce costs and improve efficiencies. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we incurred $1.5 million of non-recurring expenses that are recorded primarily in selling, general and administrative consisting of severance and buy-outs of lease commitments. Of the restructuring expenses incurred during the year ended December 31, 2018, $0.3 million of severance and rent expenses remained payable at year-end.
