Restructuring Costs RESTRUCTURING COSTS
Restructuring expense reflects costs associated with the Company’s ongoing efforts to improve operational efficiency and deploy assets globally in order to remain competitive on a worldwide basis. The costs incurred in the first nine months of fiscal 2020 largely relate to the Company's initiatives to improve operating margins that began in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 and include workforce reductions of approximately 3,300 employees. The Company expects fiscal 2020 restructuring expense and related costs to be approximately $300, an increase of $20 compared to its previous estimate, including costs to complete actions initiated in the first nine months of the year.
