Restructuring Plans

In the six months ended September 30, 2018, the Company recorded a total of $0.5 million in restructuring charges and adjustments included in gains, losses and other items, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The expense related to fiscal year 2019 included restructuring plans primarily for associates in the United States and China, partially offset by a reduction in the lease accrual related to fiscal year 2018. Of the associate related accruals of $0.8 million, $0.4 million remained accrued at September 30, 2018. The associate-related costs are expected to be paid out in fiscal 2019.

In fiscal 2018, the Company recorded a total of $2.8 million in restructuring charges and adjustments included in gains, losses and other items, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The expense included severance and other associate-related charges of $0.2 million, and lease accruals and adjustments of $2.6 million.

The associate-related accruals of $0.2 million related to the termination of associates in the United States. These costs were paid out in fiscal 2019. The lease accruals and adjustments of $2.6 million result from the Company's exit from certain leased office facilities.

In fiscal 2017, the Company recorded a total of $6.5 million in restructuring charges and adjustments included in gains, losses and other items, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The expense included lease accruals and adjustments of $3.0 million, and leasehold improvement write-offs of $2.1 million. The lease accruals and adjustments of $3.0 million resulted from the Company's exit from certain leased office facilities ($1.5 million) and adjustments to estimates related to the fiscal 2015 lease accruals ($1.5 million).

In fiscal 2015, the Company recorded a total of $9.2 million in restructuring charges and adjustments included in gains, losses and other items, net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. The expense included severance and other associate-related charges of $2.6 million, lease accruals of $4.7 million, and the write-off of leasehold improvements of $2.0 million. Of the associate-related accruals of $2.6 million, $0.3 million remained accrued as of September 30, 2018. These amounts are expected to be paid out in fiscal 2019.

With respect to the fiscal 2015, 2017, and 2018 lease accruals described above, the Company intends to sublease the facilities to the extent possible. The liabilities will be satisfied over the remainder of the leased properties' terms, which continue through November 2025. Actual sublease receipts may differ from the estimates originally made by the Company. Any future changes in the estimates or in the actual sublease income could require future adjustments to the liabilities, which would impact net earnings (loss) in the period the adjustment is recorded.
