RESTRUCTURING RESTRUCTURING
    In fiscal 2024, the Company announced a plan to return to profitable growth (the "Turnaround Plan"). The Turnaround Plan is centered on three key areas: (i) refocusing on the core, (ii) rightsizing the cost structure, and (iii) strengthening the balance sheet. The Company achieved selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") cost savings of approximately $100 million in fiscal 2025 as compared to fiscal 2024 through a series of initiatives including a strategic reduction in force which occurred in February 2025, the reduction in costs associated with the transition of smaller international markets to a distributor model, and the closing of 49 FOSSIL retail stores during fiscal 2025. Beginning in fiscal year 2026, the Company moved forward to a new chapter in its Turnaround Plan, with a focus on three new strategic pillars: (i) driving profitable growth, (ii) optimizing our operating model, and (iii) building shareholder value. The Company incurred $41 million and $7 million in charges under the Turnaround Plan in fiscal years 2025 and 2024, respectively, and expects to incur approximately $15 million in charges in fiscal year 2026 as it completes the plan.

In fiscal year 2024, the Company concluded its Transform and Grow plan ("TAG") as it transitioned to initiatives under the Turnaround Plan. TAG was launched in early 2023 to reduce operating costs, improve operating margins, and advance the Company’s commitment to profitable growth. The Company had expanded the scope and duration of TAG to focus on a more comprehensive review of its global business operations. The expansion of TAG put greater emphasis on initiatives aimed at restructuring or optimizing operations, exiting or minimizing certain product offerings, brands and distribution channels, strengthening gross margins through improvements in sourcing and improving working capital efficiency. Under the expanded TAG plan, the Company achieved annualized operating income benefits of $280 million over the two-year period.
