Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring and Other Charges | Restructuring and Other Charges During fiscal 2019, the Company implemented certain restructuring and pre-separation initiatives associated with the sale of the ECR business, the acquisition of KeyW and other related cost reduction initiatives. The restructuring activities and related costs were comprised mainly of separation and lease abandonment programs, while the pre-separation activities and costs were mainly related to the engagement of consulting services and internal personnel and other related costs dedicated to the Company’s ECR-business separation. During the fourth fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company implemented certain restructuring and pre-integration plans associated with the pending acquisition of CH2M, which closed on December 15, 2017. The restructuring activities and related costs under these plans were comprised mainly of severance and lease abandonment programs, while the pre-integration activities and costs were mainly related to the engagement of consulting services and internal personnel and other related costs dedicated to the Company’s integration management efforts. Following the closing of the CH2M acquisition, these activities have continued through fiscal 2019 and continue to be comprised mainly of severance, lease abandonment, IT related, consulting and other professional services as well as internal personnel costs. The activities of the above-mentioned programs are expected to be substantially completed before the end of fiscal 2020. During fiscal 2015, the Company began implementing a series of initiatives intended to improve operational efficiency, reduce costs and better position itself to drive growth of the business in the future. We referred to these initiatives, in the aggregate, as the “2015 Restructuring”. During fiscal 2017, the Company entered into strategic business restructuring activities associated with realignment of its Europe, United Kingdom ("U.K.") and Middle East regional operations in our PPS segment. These activities were completed in fiscal 2017. Collectively, the above-mentioned restructuring activities are referred to as “Restructuring and other charges”.
