Consulting-Related Costs

Beginning in the second quarter of fiscal year 2020, the Company engaged consultants to assist in reviewing the optimization of the Company’s operations. This project will continue through fiscal year 2021. These costs are included within operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

Severance and Separation Costs 

Beginning in fiscal year 2019, the Company identified opportunities for improvements in its workforce realignment, strategy, and staffing, and increased its focus on performance management, to ensure it has the right skillsets and number of associates to execute its long-term vision. As such, the Company extended voluntary and involuntary severance and separation benefits to certain associates in fiscal years 2019, 2020, and 2021. These costs are included within operating expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
