RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURING
    In fiscal year 2019, the Company launched New World Fossil 2.0 - Transform to Grow Program (“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 pursued additional gross margin expansion opportunities. The Company has taken 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 also changed its overall business processes and resources, creating a more centrally directed operating model, reducing complexity and redundancy, and operating at a lower cost base. The NWF 2.0 restructuring program was expanded to address additional challenges posed by COVID-19, including a number of cost saving measures such as store closures. Total NWF 2.0 charges since inception in fiscal year 2019 are $62.8 million, of which $7.5 million, $36.5 million and $18.8 million were recorded during the First Quarter, fiscal year 2020 and fiscal year 2019, respectively.
