Selling, General and Administrative Expense
We include in selling, general and administrative expenses ("SG&A") costs incurred subsequent to the receipt of finished goods at our distribution facilities, such as the cost of stocking, warehousing, picking, packing, and shipping goods for delivery to our customers. Distribution costs included in SG&A expenses totaled $3.7 million and $4.3 million for the three months ended July 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, respectively, and totaled $11.2 million and $12.1 million for the nine months ended July 2, 2016, and June 27, 2015, respectively. In addition, SG&A expenses include costs related to sales associates, administrative personnel, advertising and marketing expenses, royalty payments on licensed products and other general and administrative expenses.
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, certain strategic initiatives were implemented to improve net profitability. This effort included reducing our administrative workforce, delayering our management structure and streamlining decision-making and information flow, as well as reducing duplicative and excess fixed cost. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2014, we recorded a total of $4.0 million in SG&A expense associated with these strategic initiatives. As of October 3, 2015, approximately $0.5 million of these expenses were accrued and reported on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. During the first nine months of fiscal year 2016, no additional expense was incurred in association with these strategic initiatives and no amounts remain accrued on our July 2, 2016 Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet.
