[1] Restructuring:In fiscal year 2012, the Company announced a multi-year strategic cost reduction initiative (“structural cost improvement initiative”). This initiative impacts both segments as well as the Corporate Services Group. The goal of this initiative is to properly position the Company’s cost structure globally to perform in the current economic environment without adversely impacting its growth or innovation potential. Key components of the structural cost improvement initiative include:•the strategic alignment of manufacturing, sales and R&D facilities to cost-effectively deliver high-quality products and superior service to the Company’s customers worldwide,•creation of regional and global shared financial services centers for the handling of accounting transaction processing and other accounting functions,•reorganization of sales functions, to more cost-efficiently deliver superior service to the Company’s customers globally, and•reductions in headcount across all functional areas, enabled by efficiencies gained through the Company’s ERP systems, as well as in order to align to economic conditions.Restructuring charges recorded in the three months ended October 31, 2014 and October 31, 2013 primarily reflect the expenses incurred in connection with the Company’s structural cost improvement initiative as discussed above.
