Restructuring Charges [Abstract] |
Restructuring | Restructuring Restructuring charges recorded as operating expenses in our consolidated statements of operations represent costs associated with separate individual restructuring plans implemented in various fiscal periods. The extent of our costs arising as a result of these actions, including fluctuations in related balances between fiscal periods, is based on the nature of activities under the various plans. Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Events In September 2025, we initiated restructuring actions in order to centralize teams into fewer locations to provide better access to talent pools, encourage multi-disciplinary collaboration, and simplify operations. In connection with this plan, we recorded expense in fiscal 2025 of $6.1 million in severance and other related benefits. The remaining components of this plan are expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026, resulting in an additional charge of approximately $10 million in severance and other termination benefits. Cash payment of the severance and other termination benefits are expected to be substantially completed by the end of the first quarter of fiscal 2026. These activities are expected to result in estimated gross pre-tax operating income savings of approximately $20 million in fiscal 2026, due to estimated savings in compensation and benefits of impacted employees. The impact of these estimated savings on our operating expenses will be mostly offset by increased investment in our strategic priorities and the effects of inflation on our remaining expenses. In November 2024, we initiated restructuring actions with the purpose of aligning our R&D resources, and to a lesser extent our S&M resources, with our highest strategic priorities. In connection with this plan, we recorded expense in fiscal 2025 of $9.2 million in severance and other related benefits. The remaining components of this plan were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2025. Cash payment of the severance and other termination benefits were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2025. These activities resulted in estimated gross pre-tax operating income savings of approximately $20 million in fiscal 2025, due to estimated savings in compensation and benefits of impacted employees, which was consistent with our expectations. The impact of these estimated savings on our operating expenses was mostly offset by increased investment in our strategic priorities and the effects of inflation on our remaining expenses. Fiscal 2024 Restructuring Events In April 2024, we initiated restructuring actions with the purpose of focusing our resources on our highest strategic priorities. In connection with this plan, we recorded an expense in fiscal 2024 of $4.6 million in severance and other related benefits. C ash payment of the severance and other termination benefits were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2024. These activities resulted in gross pre-tax operating income savings of approximately $3 million in fiscal 2024 and resulted in savings of approximately $11 million within fiscal 2025, which was consistent with our expectations. The impact of these estimated savings on our operating expenses was mostly offset by increased investment in our strategic priorities and the effects of inflation on our remaining expenses. Fiscal 2023 Restructuring Events In September 2023, we initiated a restructuring plan with the purpose of focusing our resources on our highest strategic priorities. In continuation with this plan, we recorded an expense in fiscal 2024 of $7.4 million in severance and other related benefits. Cash payment of the severance and other termination benefits were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2024. These activities resulted in gross pre-tax operating income savings of approximately $40 million within fiscal 2024, which was consistent with our expectations. The impact of these savings on our operating expenses was offset by increased investment in our strategic priorities and the effects of inflation on our remaining expenses. In June 2023, we implemented a focused restructuring plan, primarily consisting of workforce reductions and facility consolidations to improve execution in alignment with our strategy and to reduce our cost structure through improved utilization of our global infrastructure. Actions and expenses related to this plan were substantially completed by the end of fiscal 2024. These activities resulted in gross pre-tax operating income savings of approximately $20 million in fiscal 2024, which was consistent with our expectations. The impact of these savings on our operating expenses was mostly offset by increased investment in our strategic priorities and the effects of inflation on our remaining expenses. The table presented below summarizes the changes in our restructuring accruals (in thousands):
