Restructuring and Related Charges RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES
In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017, our Board of Directors approved a multi-year restructuring program (the “Financial Fitness Program”), which is expected to contribute to the Company’s overall strategy of financial fitness through increased operational effectiveness and overhead reduction. The Financial Fitness Program is expected to result in cumulative pretax charges of approximately $280 million which consist primarily of severance and employee related costs, impairments and accelerated depreciation of technology assets, incremental costs to implement new technology, and contract termination costs. The Company recognized restructuring and related charges of $41 million, $59 million and $150 million associated with the program during fiscal 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.
For fiscal 2019 and 2018, the restructuring and related charges consisted of $41 million and $59 million, respectively, of incremental costs to implement new technology and accelerated depreciation of technology assets. These costs were recorded in Selling, General and Administrative in our Consolidated Statements of Income. For fiscal 2017, the restructuring and related charges consisted of $53 million severance and employee related costs, $72 million technology impairment and related costs, and $25 million for contract termination costs. Of these costs, $35 million was recorded to Cost of Sales and $115 million was recorded to Selling, General and Administrative in our Consolidated Statements of Income.
We had no restructuring liability at September 28, 2019 and our restructuring liability was $10 million at September 29, 2018.
