Restructuring Costs

RESTRUCTURING COSTSRestructuring 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. Costs incurred in the first three months of fiscal 2022 relate to the Company's initiatives that began in the third quarter of fiscal 2019 to improve operating margins and were subsequently increased in response to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on demand for the Company's products. Expenses incurred in the first three months of fiscal 2022 included costs related to workforce reductions of approximately 150 employees. The Company expects fiscal 2022 restructuring expense and related costs to be approximately $150, including costs to complete actions initiated in the first three months of the year.
