Restructuring

    In fiscal year 2022, the Company completed its New World Fossil 2.0 (“NWF 2.0”) restructuring program it launched in 2019, which was focused on optimizing the Company’s operating structure to be more efficient, with faster decision-making and a more consumer-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.

    The Company announced its Transform and Grow strategy ("TAG") designed to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and advance the Company’s commitment to profitable growth. Included in this strategy is a new restructuring plan (the "TAG Plan") beginning in fiscal year 2023, intended to lower operating expenses and reduce working capital. TAG is expected to be implemented over a two year period and is intended to generate estimated annualized benefits of at least $100 million by the end of 2024. The TAG Plan includes a reduction of the Company’s current global workforce in 2023 by approximately eight percent, which includes employee reductions resulting from store closures. The Company estimates approximately $25 million to $30 million in charges in connection with the TAG Plan, which are expected to be incurred during fiscal 2023.
