Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

During the three months ended January 31, 2017, the Company incurred $0.6 million in repositioning expenses, respectively, primarily from severance payments resulting from operational initiatives. In addition, the Company recorded inventory reserves of $0.7 million for raw material and work in process inventory associated with the final phase of the winding down of the older section of the Swindon facility ("Swindon wind down") to allow us to re-purpose that area, which was expensed through cost of goods sold.
