Operational Efficiency Initiatives
For the nine months ended October 1, 2016, we announced operational efficiency initiatives which resulted in severance and employee benefits charges, as further discussed below, as well as inventory initiatives that were largely completed in the second quarter of fiscal 2016. The inventory initiatives were fully completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2016, with a net $0.7 million fiscal third quarter increase to earnings more fully described below.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we announced the closure of four owned distribution centers, and a corresponding reduction in force of approximately 60 full-time employees. These closures and reductions in force were completed by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016. A $1.2 million severance and employee benefits charge was recorded in the second quarter of fiscal 2016 in “selling, general, and administrative” expenses in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss), with a corresponding liability recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet in “Other current liabilities” due to the initiative. In the third fiscal quarter and for the nine months ended October 1, 2016, $0.5 million of this obligation was paid. The remaining payments are expected to be paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016.
Furthermore, as part of the operational efficiency initiative process, we also began a stock keeping unit (“SKU”) rationalization initiative in local markets during the second quarter of fiscal 2016, resulting in the identification of certain less productive SKUs which we decided to discontinue offering. The SKU rationalization initiative was completed by the end of the third quarter of fiscal 2016. The following table describes our total adjustments as a result of both the SKU rationalization initiative and facility closures on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the third quarter and nine months ended of fiscal 2016 (in millions):
