Liabilities and Restructuring Charges [Abstract]

In fiscal 2018, the Company recorded $12.9 million of restructuring charges for severance and benefits due to involuntary employee termination actions.

The outstanding balance as of January 31, 2019 was $1.3 million, which is recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.
