RESTRUCTURING CHARGES

6 Months Ended

Sep. 27, 2019

During fiscal year 2019, the Company took actions to optimize its portfolio with greater focus to be placed on higher margin, less volatile businesses. During the first half of fiscal year 2020 in connection with the recent geopolitical developments and uncertainties, primarily impacting one customer in China, the Company experienced a reduction in demand for products assembled for that customer. As a result, the Company accelerated its strategic decision to reduce its exposure to certain high-volatility products in both China and India. The Company also initiated targeted activities to restructure its business to further reduce and streamline its cost structure. During the three and six-month periods ended September 27, 2019, the Company recognized $128.3 million and $184.5 million, respectively, of restructuring charges. The Company incurred cash charges of approximately $97.0 million and $127.8 million, respectively, that were predominantly for employee severance, and non-cash charges of $31.3 million and $56.7 million, respectively, primarily related to asset impairments during the three and six-month periods ended September 27, 2019. The Company expects to complete these activities during fiscal year 2020.

During the three and six-month periods ended September 28, 2018, the Company recognized $25.8 million and $34.6 million, respectively, for charges primarily associated with the wind down of its NIKE operations in Mexico, the majority of which were for non-cash asset impairments.
