Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]  
Restructuring and Integration Expense Restructuring and Integration Expense
As part of restructuring and integration activities the Company has incurred expenses that qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include severance and employee benefit costs as well as other direct separation benefit costs, right of use asset impairment charges, fixed asset impairment charges, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets. Severance and employee benefit costs primarily relate to cash severance, as well as non-cash severance, including accelerated equity award compensation expense. The Company also incurred expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attributable to, our restructuring and integration activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs under U.S. GAAP. These include integration implementation costs that relate primarily to professional fees and non-cash losses incurred on debt extinguishment.
The expense associated with integration initiatives are included in Selling, general and administrative and the expenses associated with restructuring activities are included in Restructuring expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
Knoll Integration:
Following the Knoll acquisition, the Company announced a multi-year program (the "Knoll Integration") designed to reduce costs and integrate and optimize operations of the combined organization. To date, the Company has recorded a total of $144.4 million in pre-tax integration expense related to this plan. No future costs related to this plan are expected. The integration expenses incurred by the Company included expenses within the following categories:
Severance and employee benefit costs associated with plans to integrate our operating structure, resulting in workforce reductions. These costs primarily include: severance and employee benefits (cash severance, non-cash severance, including accelerated stock-compensation award expense and other termination benefits).
Exit and disposal activities include those incurred as a direct result of integration activities, primarily including the reorganization and consolidation of facilities as well as asset impairment charges.
Other integration costs include professional fees and other incremental third-party expenses, including a loss on extinguishment of debt associated with financing of the Knoll acquisition.
For the three months ended November 30, 2024, there were no costs incurred related to the Knoll Integration.
For the three months ended December 2, 2023, we incurred $6.9 million of costs related to the Knoll Integration which was comprised of $5.3 million of exit and disposal costs related to the consolidation of facilities and $1.6 million of other integration costs.
For the six months ended November 30, 2024, we incurred $28.3 million of costs related to the Knoll Integration which was comprised of $25.8 million of exit and disposal costs related to the consolidation of facilities and $2.5 million of other integration costs.
For the six months ended December 2, 2023, we incurred $10.8 million of costs related to the Knoll Integration which was comprised of $8.7 million of exit and disposal costs related to the consolidation of facilities and $2.1 million of other integration costs.

In the second quarter of fiscal 2024 a manufacturing facility located in Wisconsin met the criteria to be classified as an asset held for sale. The decision to sell this facility was made as a result of facility integration activities performed in connection with the integration of Knoll. As of November 30, 2024, and June 1, 2024, the carrying amount of these assets held for sale was $3.2 million and $3.5 million, respectively, and is classified as current assets within "Assets held for sale" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Restructuring Activities
During fiscal year 2024, the Company announced an action related to the 2024 restructuring plan ("2024 restructuring plan") to reduce expenses. This restructuring activity included involuntary reductions in workforces as well as expenses related to a facilities consolidation plan, comprised primarily of non-cash right of use asset impairment charges and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets. For the year ended June 1, 2024, the Company incurred $30.8 million of restructuring charges related to the 2024 restructuring plan. The restructuring plan was complete in fiscal 2024 and no future costs related to this plan are expected.
