The Company implemented a multi-year restructuring program that began in fiscal year 2016 called New World Fossil ("NWF 1.0") and concluded in the third quarter of fiscal 2019.

Total restructuring charges under NWF 1.0 since inception in fiscal year 2016 are $133.4 million, of which $10.8 million, $46.6 million and $48.2 million were recorded during fiscal years 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Additionally, during fiscal year 2019, the Company launched a new restructuring program, New World Fossil 2.0 (“NWF 2.0”), which is focused on optimizing the Company’s operating structure to be more efficient, with faster decision-making and a more customer-centric focus. In addition to optimizing the way the Company goes to market, the Company is also pursuing additional gross margin expansion opportunities. The Company is taking a zero-based budgeting approach to adjust its business model to enable more investment in digital capabilities and marketing, move closer to the consumer and react more quickly to the ever-evolving consumer shopping patterns. The Company estimates total NWF 2.0 charges of up to approximately $130.0 million will be recorded. NWF 2.0 restructuring charges of $18.8 million were recorded during fiscal year 2019.
