RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURING
In fiscal 2024, the Company announced a plan to return to profitable growth (the "Turnaround Plan"). The Turnaround Plan is centered on three key areas: (i) refocusing on the core, (ii) rightsizing the cost structure, and (iii) strengthening the balance sheet. The Company expects to achieve selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") cost savings of approximately $100 million in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024 through a series of initiatives including a strategic reduction in force which occurred in late February 2025, reduced costs associated with the transition of smaller international markets to a distributor model, and the closing of approximately 50 FOSSIL retail stores. The Company will seek to identify additional cost-reduction opportunities, which may generate incremental savings in fiscal 2025. The Company estimates approximately $50 million in total charges in connection with the Turnaround Plan, with approximately $7 million incurred in fiscal 2024 and the remainder expected to be incurred during fiscal 2025.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company concluded its Transform and Grow plan ("TAG") as it transitioned to initiatives under the Turnaround Plan. TAG was launched in early 2023 to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and advance the Company’s commitment to profitable growth. The Company had expanded the scope and duration of TAG to focus on a more comprehensive review of its global business operations. The expansion of TAG put greater emphasis on initiatives aimed at restructuring or optimizing operations, exiting or minimizing certain product offerings, brands and distribution channels, strengthening gross margins through improvements in sourcing and improving working capital efficiency. Under the expanded TAG plan, the Company achieved annualized operating income benefits of $280 million over the two year period.
