Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES | RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Supply Chain and Administrative Efficiency Plan We continue to execute a plan for the integration and restructuring of the operations of Ralcorp Holdings, Inc. ("Ralcorp"), optimization of the entire Company's supply chain network, manufacturing assets, and dry distribution and mixing centers, and improvement of selling, general and administrative effectiveness and efficiencies, which we refer to as the Supply Chain and Administrative Efficiency Plan (the "SCAE Plan"). Although we remain unable to make good faith estimates relating to the entire SCAE Plan, we are reporting on actions initiated through the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2015, including the estimated amounts or range of amounts for each major type of costs expected to be incurred, and the charges that have resulted or will result in cash outflows. As of the date of this report, our Board of Directors has approved the incurrence of up to $343.0 million of expenses in connection with the SCAE Plan. We have incurred or expect to incur approximately $232.0 million of charges ($160.1 million of cash charges and $71.9 million of non-cash charges) for actions identified to date under the SCAE plan. In the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2015, we recognized charges of $18.3 million and $56.8 million, respectively, in relation to the SCAE Plan. In the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2014, we recognized charges of $23.5 million and $38.1 million, respectively, in relation to the SCAE Plan. We expect to incur costs related to the SCAE Plan over a multi-year period. We anticipate that we will recognize the following pre-tax expenses in association with the SCAE Plan (amounts include charges recognized in fiscal 2013, 2014, and the first three quarters of fiscal 2015):

Acquisition-related Restructuring Costs During fiscal 2012, we started incurring costs in connection with actions taken to attain synergies when integrating businesses acquired prior to the third quarter of fiscal 2013. These costs, collectively referred to as "acquisition-related restructuring costs", include severance and other costs associated with consolidating facilities and administrative functions. In connection with the acquisition-related restructuring costs, we incurred pre-tax cash and non-cash charges of $23.7 million ($21.2 million in the Consumer Foods segment and $2.5 million in Corporate expenses) cumulatively since inception. In the first three quarters of fiscal 2015, we incurred $0.3 million in the Consumer Foods segment. In the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2014, we incurred $2.4 million and $5.7 million, respectively, in the Consumer Foods segment. The acquisition-related restructuring costs are substantially complete. Ralcorp Pre-acquisition Restructuring Plans At the time of its acquisition, Ralcorp had certain initiatives underway designed to optimize its manufacturing and distribution networks. We refer to these actions and the related costs as "Ralcorp Pre-acquisition Restructuring Plans". These plans consisted of projects that involved, among other things, the exit of certain manufacturing facilities. In connection with the Ralcorp Pre-acquisition Restructuring Plans, we have incurred $3.7 million ($3.5 million in the Private Brands segment and $0.2 million in Corporate expenses) that have resulted or will result in cash outflows of $1.9 million and non-cash charges of $1.8 million. In the third quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2014, we recognized charges of $0.5 million and $3.1 million, respectively. At the end of fiscal 2014, the Ralcorp Pre-acquisition Restructuring Plans were substantially complete.
