Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Other Charges | Restructuring and Other Charges A description of significant restructuring and other activities and related costs is included below. Fiscal 2015 During Fiscal 2015, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $10 million, primarily related to severance and benefit costs associated with certain of its retail, wholesale, and corporate operations. As of March 28, 2015, the related aggregate remaining restructuring liability was approximately $5 million, which is expected to be settled by the end of the Company's fiscal year ending April 2, 2016 ("Fiscal 2016"). Fiscal 2014 During Fiscal 2014, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $8 million, primarily related to severance and benefit costs associated with its corporate operations. As of March 29, 2014, the related aggregate remaining restructuring liability was approximately $6 million. As of March 28, 2015, the related aggregate remaining restructuring liability was not material. In addition, in connection with the formation of the Office of the Chairman, the Company entered into employment agreements with certain of its executive officers, which became effective in November 2013. As a result of the new employment agreement provisions, the Company recorded $10 million of accelerated stock-based compensation expense during Fiscal 2014. Fiscal 2013 Rugby Closure Plan On October 30, 2012, the Company approved a plan to wind down its Rugby brand retail operations (the "Rugby Closure Plan"). This decision was primarily based on the results of an analysis of the brand concept, as well as an opportunity for the Company to reallocate its resources related to these operations to support other high-growth business opportunities and initiatives. In connection with the Rugby Closure Plan, all of the Company's 14 global freestanding Rugby stores (certain of which were converted to other Ralph Lauren brand concepts) and its related domestic e-commerce site located at Rugby.com were closed as of June 2013. The Rugby Closure Plan resulted in a reduction in workforce of approximately 160 employees. In connection with the Rugby Closure Plan, the Company recorded $7 million in restructuring charges during Fiscal 2013, comprised of $2 million of severance and benefits costs, $4 million of lease termination costs, and $1 million of other costs, of which $4 million remained payable as of March 30, 2013. As of both March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, the remaining restructuring liability related to this plan was not material. Other Restructuring Charges In addition to the restructuring charges incurred in connection with the Rugby Closure Plan, the Company recorded $5 million of other net restructuring charges during Fiscal 2013, including $3 million of severance and lease termination costs associated with the suspension of the Company's operations in Argentina, $3 million of severance and lease termination costs associated with the Company's European operations, and $2 million of severance costs primarily associated with the Company's corporate operations, partially offset by $3 million of reversals of reserves deemed no longer necessary in connection with the Company's Fiscal 2012 Asia-Pacific Restructuring Plan, as defined in the Fiscal 2014 10-K. As of March 30, 2013, the aggregate remaining liability related to these actions was $4 million. As of both March 28, 2015 and March 29, 2014, the remaining restructuring liability related to these actions was not material.
