Restructuring and Other Costs Restructuring and Other Costs
Optimization of Company Operations and Profitability Improvement
The Company continues to identify opportunities for improvements in its workforce realignment, strategy and staffing, and its focus on performance management, to ensure it has the right skill sets and number of associates to execute its long-term vision. As such, the Company extends voluntary and involuntary severance and separation benefits to certain associates in order to facilitate its workforce realignment.
As part of the Company’s strategic realignment efforts to optimize its supply chain and distribution network and enhance operational efficiency, the Company engaged consultants beginning in fiscal year 2024, and will continue to incur consulting-related costs in fiscal year 2025. In connection with these efforts, in the second half of fiscal year 2024, the Company commenced its plan to sell its CFC in Columbus, Ohio. As such, the Company extended voluntary and involuntary severance and separation benefits to certain associates and incurred consulting-related costs in the same period
in order to facilitate its network optimization and workforce realignment that qualify as exit and disposal costs under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
In addition, from time to time, the Company incurs certain expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attribute to, its restructuring activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These expenses include professional and consulting-related costs directly associated with the optimization of the Company’s operations and profitability improvement, which are also included in Restructuring and other costs in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
The following table summarizes Restructuring and other costs for the thirteen-week periods ended November 30, 2024 and December 2, 2023:
