Restructuring Charges

In the first quarter of fiscal 2023, we initiated a restructuring plan for involuntary employee terminations as part of a business reorganization (the 2023 Plan). The 2023 Plan was substantially completed in the third quarter of fiscal 2023 and total charges under the 2023 Plan consisting primarily of severance costs and facility exit costs were $77.0 million, of which $23.9 million were related to discontinued operations.

During fiscal 2025, we made payments of $0.8 million related to continuing operations under the 2023 Plan. As of October 31, 2025, $0.7 million were recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the remaining outstanding restructuring related liabilities of $3.1 million were recorded in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

During fiscal 2024, we made payments of $3.6 million related to continuing operations and $0.5 million related to discontinued operations under the 2023 Plan. As of October 31, 2024, the payroll and related benefits liabilities of $0.8 million were recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the remaining outstanding restructuring related liabilities of $3.8 million were recorded in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

During fiscal 2023, we recorded restructuring charges related to continuing operations of $53.1 million and made payments of $44.9 million under the 2023 Plan. We recorded restructuring charges related to discontinued operations of $23.9 million and made payments of $23.4 million under the 2023 Plan. As of October 31, 2023, the payroll and related benefits liabilities related to continuing operations of $3.7 million were recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and the remaining outstanding restructuring related liabilities of $4.5 million were recorded in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. The payroll and related benefits liabilities related to discontinued operations were $0.5 million.

Subsequent event

In November 2025, we initiated a restructuring plan for involuntary employee terminations as part of a business reorganization (the 2026 Plan) upon approval by the Board of Directors. The 2026 Plan will allow us to invest in key growth opportunities and drive business efficiencies following the completion of the Ansys Merger. Total charges under the 2026 Plan are expected to be in the range of $300.0 million and $350.0 million, and will consist primarily of severance costs, other one-time termination benefits and facility exit costs. The 2026 Plan is anticipated to be completed by the end of fiscal 2027, with majority of the workforce reduction in fiscal 2026.
