Restructuring 14. RESTRUCTURING

Fiscal 2025 Restructuring Activity

Our fiscal 2025 restructuring costs were for the continued implementation of our new North America go-to-market strategy, alignment of personnel and refinements to the new model, and to reduce operating expenses in certain areas of our operations. In fiscal 2024, we began restructuring our North America sales force to a more focused structure that is designed to drive additional sales growth in the future. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we expanded this restructuring effort to certain areas of our International Direct Office segment. For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2025, the cost of

these restructuring activities totaled $6.7 million and consisted of two restructuring events, one in each of the first and third quarters. The restructuring costs were primarily for severance and related personnel expenses.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2025, we expensed $4.7 million for severance to approximately 45 associates who were impacted by changes to our new go-to-market strategy and cost reduction initiatives. Approximately $3.8 million of the restructuring was attributable to the North America segment, $0.2 million for the International Direct Office segment, $0.1 million for the International Licensees segment, and $0.6 million for the Education Division. The majority of these severance benefits were paid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2025 and we expect to pay the remaining benefits during the first two quarters of fiscal 2026. We had $1.9 million included in accrued liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2025, for the third quarter restructuring event.

In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, we expensed $2.0 million for severance to approximately 35 associates who were impacted by sales force restructuring activities. Approximately $1.6 million of this restructuring expense was attributable to the North America segment and $0.4 million was attributable to the International Direct Office segment. These severance benefits were paid during the second quarter of fiscal 2025 and there were no remaining accrued restructuring liabilities from this restructuring event on our consolidated balance sheet at August 31, 2025.

Fiscal 2024 Restructuring Activity

During fiscal 2024, we restructured certain areas of our operations to sharpen the focus of our efforts and resources on plans and initiatives to drive additional growth in the future. As a result of this restructuring plan, we reduced our workforce by more than 50 associates and incurred severance and legal expenses totaling $3.0 million. Approximately $2.5 million of the restructuring expense was attributable to the Direct Office segment, $0.4 million was attributable to the Education segment, and $0.1 million was attributable to corporate functions. The remaining restructuring liability at August 31, 2024 totaled $0.4 million and was included in accrued liabilities in our consolidated balance sheet. These accrued restructuring costs were paid in fiscal 2025.
