Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES | RESTRUCTURING ACTIVITIES Supply Chain and Administrative Efficiency Plan We previously announced 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 the divestiture of the Private Brands business was completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, we will continue to implement portions of the SCAE Plan, including work related to optimizing our supply chain network and pursue cost reductions through our selling, general and administrative functions and productivity improvements. The SCAE Plan also includes plans announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 to realize efficiency benefits through a combination of reductions in selling, general and administrative expenses and enhancements to trade spend processes and tools. 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 fiscal 2016, 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 May 29, 2016, our Board of Directors has approved the incurrence of up to $739.0 million of expenses in connection with the SCAE Plan, including expenses allocated for the Private Brands operations. We have incurred or expect to incur approximately $443.9 million of charges, which includes $315.5 million of cash charges and $128.4 million of non-cash charges, for actions identified to date under the SCAE Plan related to our continuing operations. We recognized charges of $281.8 million, $47.7 million, and $31.3 million in relation to the SCAE Plan related to our continuing operations in fiscal 2016, 2015, and 2014, respectively. 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 associated with the SCAE Plan related to our continuing operations (amounts include charges recognized from plan inception to May 29, 2016):

In connection with the acquisition-related restructuring costs, we have incurred charges of $23.7 million, $15.8 million of which are charges that have resulted or will result in cash outflows and $7.9 million of which are non-cash charges. At the end of fiscal 2014, the acquisition-related restructuring costs were substantially complete.
