Note 7: Restructuring Activities

During the first nine months of fiscal 2025, restructuring and repositioning expenses primarily consisted of severance expenses, the majority of which were recorded in the Performance Technologies segment. The Performance Technologies severance charges were primarily recorded in Europe and North America and include severance related to the closure of a European technical service center and other targeted headcount reductions intended to reduce selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) and operational expenses. In addition, as part of its transformational initiatives supported by 80/20 principles, the Company is taking steps to optimize the efficiency of its supply chain and manufacturing processes in order to improve profit margins in the Climate Solutions and Performance Technologies segments. These restructuring activities have included transferring the production and warehousing for certain product lines among its facilities.

During the first nine months of fiscal 2024, restructuring and repositioning expenses primarily consisted of equipment transfer costs and severance expenses in the Climate Solutions and Performance Technologies segments.
