Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Restructuring Charges, Net | Restructuring Charges, Net In fiscal 2024, in light of the challenging macroeconomic business environment arising from persistent inflationary pressures, rising interest rates and global economic and geopolitical uncertainty, on October 23, 2023, the Company initiated a plan (the “Plan”) intended to align its workforce with its current business realities through position eliminations. Due to the implementation of the Plan, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $68.6 million in fiscal 2024 across all segments related to severance for positions that were eliminated. During fiscal 2025, the Company made adjustments to previously recorded restructuring accruals resulting in restructuring charges of $1.9 million. In fiscal 2023, in light of the Company’s evolution to an organization that is selling larger integrated solutions in a world where there are shifts in global trade lanes and persistent inflationary pressures, on January 11, 2023, the Company implemented a separate restructuring plan intended to realign its workforce with its business needs and objectives, namely, to invest in areas of potential growth and implement reductions where there is excess capacity. Due to the implementation of the plan, the Company recorded restructuring charges of $42.6 million during fiscal 2023 across all segments related to severance for positions that were eliminated.
