Summary of Restructuring Plans. In fiscal years 2024 and 2023, we announced restructuring plans that were both designed to reduce costs and expenses in response to macroeconomic conditions. These actions impact all three of our business segments. The costs associated with these restructuring plans were not allocated to our business segments' results; however, each business segment will benefit from the future cost savings from these actions. When completed, the restructuring programs are expected to result in the reduction in annual cost of sales and operating expenses over the three business segments.

A summary of our aggregate liability relating to both restructuring plans and the total restructuring expense since inception of those plans are shown in the table below:

Fiscal Year 2024 Plan ("FY24 Plan"). In the third quarter of fiscal year 2024, we announced a restructuring plan designed to reduce costs and expenses in response to macroeconomic conditions. The costs associated with this workforce reduction include severance and other personnel-related costs. While the majority of the workforce reduction was completed by the end of fiscal year 2024, we expect to substantially complete the remaining restructuring activities by the second quarter of fiscal year 2025.

In connection with the FY24 Plan, we have recorded approximately $1 million in restructuring and other related costs due to changes in estimate in the three months ended January 31, 2025.

A summary of the FY24 Plan activity is shown in the table below:

Fiscal Year 2023 Plan ("FY23 Plan"). We have substantially completed all workforce management actions in connection with the FY23 Plan. During the three months ended January 31, 2025, we settled cash payments of $1 million, and the remaining accrual of $1 million will be settled in our second quarter of fiscal year 2025.
