Restructuring Restructuring
In January 2023, the Company announced a restructuring plan (the “Restructuring Plan”) intended to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins and continue advancing the Company’s ongoing commitment to profitable growth. This plan included a reduction of the Company’s workforce and select real estate exits and office space reductions within certain markets. The actions associated with the employee restructuring under the Restructuring Plan were substantially completed in fiscal 2024 and the actions associated with the real estate portion of the Restructuring Plan are expected to be substantially complete in fiscal 2026. In the first quarter of fiscal 2025, the Company approved an initiative focused on driving further operational efficiencies, optimizing our management structure and increasing cost optimization efforts to realize long-term sustainable growth through a targeted workforce reduction. The actions associated with this initiative are expected to be substantially complete in fiscal 2025.
