Special Charge Special Charge
During fiscal 2019, we recognized pre-tax special charges of $1.3 million. These charges primarily related to move costs associated with the previously announced transfer of activities from a planned facility closure. During fiscal 2018, we recognized special charges consisting primarily of severance and employee-related benefit costs for the elimination of certain operations and positions following a realignment of our operating structure, including positions within various selling, distribution, and administrative (“SD&A”) departments. Further details regarding our special charges are included within the Special Charge footnote of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements within our Form 10-K.
Costs reflected within Special charge on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and nine months ended May 31, 2019 and 2018 are summarized as follows (in millions):
