Restructuring

Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group:

During the fiscal year 2017, the company undertook cost reduction initiatives related to the entire Commercial Foodservice Equipment Group. This action, which is not material to the company's operations, resulted in a charge of $2.0 million in the three and six months ended July 1, 2017, primarily for severance related to headcount reductions and consolidation of manufacturing operations. These expenses are reflected in restructuring expenses in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income. The company estimates that these restructuring initiatives will result in future cost savings of approximately $10.0 million annually, beginning in fiscal year 2018 and the restructuring costs in the future are not expected to be significant related to these actions.
