Restructuring
The Company implemented a multi-year restructuring program that began in fiscal year 2016 called New World Fossil ("NWF"). As part of NWF, the Company targets to improve operating profit and support sales growth through a leaner infrastructure and an enhanced business model. The Company is working to achieve greater efficiencies from production to distribution through activities such as organizational changes, reducing its overall product assortment, optimizing its base cost structure and consolidating facilities. The Company also intends to build a quicker and thereby more responsive operating platform. The Company is reducing its retail footprint to reflect the evolving shopping habits of today's consumer, which includes restructuring costs, such as store impairment, recorded lease obligations and termination fees and accelerated depreciation. Of the total estimated $150 million restructuring charges, approximately $27.8 million and $48.2 million were recorded during fiscal year 2016 and 2017, respectively. The Company estimates total fiscal year 2018 NWF restructuring charges of approximately $50 million.

During fiscal year 2015, the Company completed a restructuring program to refine its operating structure and store locations. The costs associated with this plan included various charges, including severance and other employment-related costs, professional services and costs related to store closures.
