During 2019, the Company recorded restructuring charges within the Boat segment related to consolidating its commercial and government products operations in order to rationalize its product line to better align with customer demand.

In addition, the Company announced headcount reductions aimed at streamlining the cost structure of its enterprise-wide general and administrative functions. The Company estimates approximately $13 million of charges will be incurred across the organization related to this action, with the majority recognized in the first nine months of 2019.

In the second quarter of 2018, the Company ended the sale process of its Sea Ray business and, as a result of a change in the plan of sale, recorded an impairment of long-lived assets. In connection with this action, the Company recorded charges beginning in the second quarter of 2018 associated with the wind down of Sport Yacht and Yacht production, mainly relating to inventory write-downs, increased warranty liabilities and employee severance and retention bonuses. The Company also incurred transaction costs during the sale process. These costs were partially offset by the reversal of the valuation allowance for estimated transaction costs which was recorded when the assets and liabilities of Sea Ray were initially reclassified as held for sale.

In 2018, the Company also executed headcount reductions in the Boat segment aimed at improving general operating efficiencies as well as recorded charges within Corporate related to the transition of certain corporate officers.
The Company recorded restructuring, exit and impairment charges in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income as a result of the activities described above. The following table is a summary of the expense associated with the restructuring, exit and impairment activities discussed above for the three months ended September 28, 2019 and September 29, 2018:
