All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. In the opinion of management, all material adjustments of a normal and recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of the results have been reflected for the periods presented. Dollar amounts are reported in thousands, except per share data, unless otherwise noted. Macroeconomic Challenges Macroeconomic issues which impact consumer discretionary spending, such as realized inflation-based price increases and high interest rates have continued to have an impact on the Company’s business. Apparel purchases historically have been influenced by domestic and global economic conditions, which may negatively impact customer demand and may require higher levels of promotion in order to attract and retain customers. Additionally, the variable interest rates associated with the Company’s Debt Facilities are negatively affected by higher interest rate environments. Macroeconomic challenges may lead to increased cost of raw materials, packaging materials, labor, energy, fuel, debt and other inputs necessary for the production and distribution of the Company’s products. Moreover, uncertainty with respect to trade policy and tariffs, including increased tariffs applicable to countries where the Company’s vendors manufacture Lands’ End product, may result in an increase in the cost of the Company’s products. Restructuring During Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023, the Company reduced approximately 10% of its corporate office positions and incurred restructuring charges, primarily severance and benefit and other related costs. The reductions in the corporate office positions were made to better align with the evolving needs of the business and to invest in key growth areas. The following table summarizes the restructuring costs recognized in Other operating expense, net in the Consolidated Statement of Operations for Fiscal 2024 and Fiscal 2023:
(in thousands) |  | Fiscal 2024 |  |  | Fiscal 2023 |
Employee severance and benefit costs |  | $ | 4,291 |  |  | $ | 5,088 |
Other costs |  |  | 1,267 |  |  |  | 2,217 |
Total restructuring |  | $ | 5,558 |  |  | $ | 7,305 |
Included in Accrued expenses and other current liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are approximately $2.0 million of the employee severance and benefit costs as of January 31, 2025 and approximately $2.9 million of the employee severance and benefit costs and $1.1 million of the other related costs as of February 2, 2024 yet to be paid. Lands’ End Japan Closure During Fiscal 2022, the Board of Directors approved a plan to wind down and cease operations of Lands’ End Japan KK.
