Restructuring And Related Charges

NOTE 5 - RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED CHARGES



Global Productivity Improvement Plan – At the start of the year ended September 30, 2018, the Company announced a company-wide, multi-year program referred to as Project Ignite which consists of various restructuring related initiatives to redirect resources and spending to drive growth, identify cost savings and pricing opportunities through standardization and optimization, develop organizational and operating optimization, and reduce overall operational complexity across the Company.  Since the announcement of the project and subsequent announcement and completion of the Company’s divestitures in GBL and GAC, the project shifted its focus on the development of these initiatives within the Company’s continuing operations after completion of the divestiture transactions and separation of GBL and GAC operations, including transitioning the Company in the post-divestiture environment and transition from the Company’s continuing involvement with Energizer.  Refer to Note 3 – Divestitures and Note 17 – Related Party Transactions for further discussion of continuing involvement with Energizer.  The initiative includes review of global processes, opportunity spending and organization design and structures; headcount reductions and transfers; and rightsizing the Company’s shared operations and commercial business strategy in certain regions and local jurisdictions; among others. Total cumulative costs incurred associated with the project were $24.7 million as of March 31, 2019.



HHI Distribution Center Consolidation – During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2017, the Company implemented an initiative within the HHI segment to consolidate certain operations and reduce operating costs. The initiative includes headcount reductions and the exit of certain facilities, including such incremental costs to consolidate or close facilities, relocate employees, cost to retrain employees to use newly deployed assets or systems, lease termination costs, and redundant or incremental transitional operating costs and customer fines and penalties incurred during transition, among others. Total cumulative costs associated with this initiative was $81.7 million and was completed as of December 30, 2018.



Other Restructuring Activities – The Company may enter into small, less significant initiatives and restructuring related activities to reduce costs and improve margins throughout the organization. Individually these activities are not substantial and occur over a shorter time period (generally less than 12 months).



The following summarizes restructuring and related charges for the three and six month periods ended March 31, 2019 and 2018:
