The Company continues to identify opportunities for improvements in its workforce realignment, strategy and staffing, and its focus on performance management, to ensure it has the right skill sets and number of associates to execute its long-term vision. In the second quarter of fiscal year 2024, Restructuring and other costs principally consisted of severance and separation charges relating to an associate voluntary termination program.

As part of the Company’s strategic realignment efforts to optimize its supply chain and distribution network and enhance operational efficiency, the Company engaged consultants and, in March 2024, commenced its plan to sell its CFC in Columbus, Ohio. As such, the Company incurred consulting-related costs and extended voluntary and involuntary severance and separation benefits to certain associates in order to facilitate its network optimization and workforce realignment that qualify as exit and disposal costs under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

In addition, from time to time, the Company incurs certain expenses that are an integral component of, and directly attribute to, its restructuring activities, which do not qualify as exit and disposal costs under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. These expenses include professional and consulting-related costs directly associated with the optimization of the Company’s operations and profitability improvement, which are also included in Restructuring and other costs in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.
