2017 Restructuring

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2017, we undertook certain operational restructuring initiatives intended to significantly reduce annual costs. As part of this action, management committed to a new strategic plan highlighted by a new product strategy and a streamlined operating approach. To execute these operational restructuring initiatives, we reduced our global workforce by approximately 20%. These workforce reductions commenced in the first fiscal quarter of 2017 and are expected to be completed by the end of the second fiscal quarter of 2017, depending upon local legal requirements.  These workforce reductions occurred in substantially all functional units and across all geographies in which we operate. We also consolidated offices in various locations and expect additional expenses related to facility closures during fiscal year 2017. Overall, we expect additional severance and facilities-related charges of $1.0 million to $3.0 million from this restructuring action during the remainder of fiscal year 2017.

Restructuring expenses are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits and outplacement services (but excluding stock-based compensation), facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions, and other costs, which include asset impairment charges.

As part of this first quarter of fiscal year 2017 restructuring, for the three months ended February 28, 2017, we incurred expenses of $17.1 million, which are recorded as restructuring expenses in the consolidated statements of operations.

Cash disbursements for expenses incurred to date under this restructuring are expected to be made through the third quarter of fiscal year 2018. The short-term portion of the restructuring reserve of $11.0 million is included in other accrued liabilities and the long-term portion of $0.1 million is included in other noncurrent liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet at February 28, 2017.

2016 Restructuring

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to make strategic changes to our organization as a result of the appointment of our new Chief Executive Officer during the period. In connection with the new organizational structure, we eliminated the positions of Chief Product Officer and Chief Revenue Officer.

Restructuring expenses are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits and outplacement services (but excluding stock-based compensation).

As part of this fourth quarter of fiscal year 2016 restructuring, for the three months ended February 28, 2017, we incurred no additional expenses.

2015 Restructurings

During the first quarter of fiscal year 2015, we restructured our operations in connection with the acquisition of Telerik. This restructuring resulted in a reduction in redundant positions primarily within the administrative functions. This restructuring also resulted in the closing of two facilities as well as asset impairment charges for assets no longer deployed as a result of the acquisition. During the second and third quarters of fiscal year 2015, we incurred additional costs with respect to this restructuring, including reduction in redundant positions primarily within the product development function, as well as an impairment charge discussed further below.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2015, we decided to replace our existing cloud-based mobile application development technology with technology acquired in connection with the acquisition of Telerik. Accordingly, we evaluated the ongoing value of the assets associated with this prior mobile technology and, based on this evaluation, we determined that the long-lived assets with a carrying amount of $4.0 million were no longer recoverable and were impaired and wrote them down to their estimated fair value of $0.1 million. Fair value was based on expected future cash flows using Level 3 inputs under ASC 820.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2015, our management approved, committed to and initiated plans to make strategic changes to our organization to further build on the focus gained from operating under our business segment structure and to enable stronger cross-collaboration among product management, marketing and sales teams and a tighter integration of the product management and product development teams. In connection with the new organizational structure, we no longer have presidents of our three segments, as well as certain other positions within the administrative organization. Our Chief Operating Officer, appointed during fiscal year 2015, assumed responsibility for driving the operations of our three segments. The organizational changes did not result in the closing of any of our facilities.

Restructuring expenses are related to employee costs, including severance, health benefits and outplacement services (but excluding stock-based compensation), facilities costs, which include fees to terminate lease agreements and costs for unused space, net of sublease assumptions, and other costs, which include asset impairment charges and abandonment of certain assets.

As part of these fiscal year 2015 restructurings, for the three months ended February 28, 2017 and February 29, 2016, we recorded minimal credits to restructuring expenses in the condensed consolidated statement of operations due to changes in estimates of the costs associated with closing facilities and changes in estimates of severance to be paid. We do not expect to incur additional material costs with respect to these restructurings.
