Restructuring Plan
Restructuring Plan

In October 2017, we announced that we had approved a restructuring plan (referred to as “Project Refuel”) intended to enhance the performance of primarily the Beauty and former Nutritional Supplements segments. Project Refuel includes a reduction-in-force and the elimination of certain contracts and operating expenses.  During the first quarter of fiscal 2019, we expanded Project Refuel to include the realignment and streamlining of our supply chain structure.  We are targeting total annualized profit improvements of approximately $8.0 to $10.0 million over the duration of the plan.  We estimate the plan will be completed by the first quarter of fiscal 2020, and expect to incur total restructuring charges in the range of approximately $4.4 to $5.5 million during the period of the plan. Restructuring provisions are determined based on estimates prepared at the time the restructuring actions are approved by management and are revised periodically.

During the three and six months ended August 31, 2018, we made cash restructuring payments of $0.5 and $1.6 million, respectively. We had a remaining liability of $1.6 million as of August 31, 2018.

We incurred $0.9 million and $2.6 million of pre-tax restructuring charges during the three and six months ended August 31, 2018, respectively, related primarily to employee severance and termination benefits. The charges for the three months ended August 31, 2018 were primarily related to our Beauty segment. The charges for the six months ended August 31, 2018 were primarily related to our Beauty segment and for shared service supply chain initiatives.  Our program to date has incurred $4.4 million of pre-tax restructuring costs related to employee severance and termination benefits and contract termination costs.
