Long-Lived Asset Impairment Charges


In 2012, triggering events were determined to have occurred related to certain properties due to changes in the expected future use. As a result of these events, we tested certain long-lived assets for recovery. Based on these tests, we recorded an asset impairment charge of $0.1 million in 2012 in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We did not record asset impairment charges associated with our long-lived assets in 2014 and 2013.
