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 $8 million and $39 million in the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended July 31, 2022, respectively, and $25 million and $123 million in the fiscal quarter and three fiscal quarters ended August 1, 2021, respectively. These charges were primarily recognized in operating expenses.
