Restructuring Charges
From time to time, we initiate cost reduction activities to integrate acquired businesses, to align our workforce with strategic business activities, or to improve efficiencies in our operations. We recognized charges of $55 million, $149 million and $233 million during fiscal years 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These charges were primarily recognized in operating expenses.
The following table summarizes the significant activities within, and components of, the restructuring liabilities:
