During fiscal 2022, the Company began implementing a series of Company-wide organizational changes and initiatives intended to create operational and management-level efficiencies. As part of this restructuring initiative, the Company is reducing the size of its supply chain network, reducing staffing levels and implementing other cost-reduction initiatives. During the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company accelerated the optimization of its Hawthorne supply chain network by announcing the closure of four additional distribution centers. In order to reduce on hand inventory to align with the optimized network capacity, the Company sold its non-core HurricaneTM branded fans business for $5.0 and commenced plans to accelerate the reduction of certain other Hawthorne inventory, primarily lighting, growing environments and hardware products. During the three and six months ended April 1, 2023, the Company incurred costs of $136.8 and $151.4, respectively, associated with this restructuring initiative primarily related to inventory write-down charges, employee termination benefits, facility closure costs and impairment of right-of-use assets and property, plant and equipment. The Company incurred costs of $0.2 and $1.2 in its U.S. Consumer segment and $118.5 and $127.0 in its Hawthorne segment in the “Cost of sales—impairment, restructuring and other” line in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three and six months ended April 1, 2023, respectively.
