Restructuring and Related Activities Disclosure RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER RELATED COSTS
Summary of Restructuring Plans. In fiscal years 2026 and 2025, we announced two separate restructuring plans designed to optimize our management structure to better serve our customers. These actions impact all three of our business segments. The costs associated with these restructuring plans were not allocated to our business segments' results; however, each business segment will benefit from the future cost savings from these actions. When completed, the restructuring programs are expected to result in the reduction in annual cost of revenues and operating expenses over the three business segments.
A summary of our aggregate liability relating to the fiscal year 2026 and 2025 restructuring plans and the total restructuring expense since inception of each plan are shown in the table below:

Fiscal Year 2026 Plan ("FY26 Plan")

In the third quarter of fiscal year 2026, we implemented a new restructuring plan designed to optimize our management structure to better serve our customers. The expenses associated with this workforce reduction include severance and other personnel-related costs. We expect to substantially complete these restructuring activities by the first quarter of fiscal year 2027.

In connection with the FY26 Plan, we have recorded approximately $15 million in restructuring and other related costs in both the three and nine months ended July 31, 2026.

In the second quarter of fiscal year 2025, we announced a restructuring plan designed to optimize our management structure to better serve our customers. The expense associated with this workforce reduction includes severance and other personnel-related costs. We expect to substantially complete these restructuring activities by the end of fiscal year 2026.
