Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract]

On July 28, 2016, the Company announced a Service Alignment Initiative that is intended to simplify the Company's service organization by aligning the Company's service operations to its strategic platforms and locations. In the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 ("fiscal 2016"), the Company entered into leases in Norfolk, Virginia and Maitland, Florida, and in fiscal 2017, the Company entered into a lease in Tempe, Arizona as part of this effort. The Company began incurring charges for this initiative during the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and expects to continue to incur charges throughout the fiscal year ending June 30, 2018 ("fiscal 2018") as the initiative is executed. The charges primarily relate to employee separation benefits recognized under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 712, and also include charges for the relocation of certain current Company employees, lease termination costs, and accelerated depreciation of fixed assets. The Company expects to recognize pre-tax restructuring charges of about $25 million for the remainder of fiscal 2018, consisting primarily of cash expenditures for employee separation benefits.
