For the first nine months of fiscal 2015, restructuring charges were primarily due to facilities costs as a result of further consolidating our facilities in the U.S. In the third quarter of fiscal 2014, restructuring charges were primarily due to severance and benefits costs as a result of right-sizing our workforce related to business model changes. For the first nine months of fiscal 2014, restructuring charges were largely due to severance and benefits costs resulting from strategic management decisions to outsource our manufacturing operations and further consolidate production and service activities.
