Restructuring
RESTRUCTURING
In 2014, the Company announced and began to implement a global productivity initiative designed to streamline operations and fuel long-term profitable growth focused on redesigning business processes and identifying opportunities to reduce costs, increase efficiencies and further streamline processes in supporting functions, supply chain and planning. The Company expects that the majority of the actions related to the global productivity initiative will be implemented through the end of 2016.
For the three and nine months ended August 28, 2016, the Company recognized net restructuring reversals and charges, of $0.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively, as compared to net restructuring charges of $4.1 million and $11.4 million, respectively, for the same periods in 2015. These net restructuring reversals and charges were recorded in "Restructuring, net" in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Related charges of $1.3 million and $5.8 million for the three- and nine-month periods ended August 28, 2016, as compared to $7.7 million and $28.1 million for the same periods in 2015, consist primarily of consulting fees for the Company's centrally-led cost-savings and productivity projects, as well as transition costs associated with the Company's decision to outsource certain global business service activities. These related charges represent costs incurred associated with ongoing operations which are expected to benefit future periods and thus were recorded in "Selling, general and administrative expenses" in the Company's consolidated statements of income. Cash payments for charges recognized to date are expected to continue through 2017.
The table below summarizes the components of charges included in “Restructuring, net” in the Company’s consolidated statements of income:
