In July 2013, the vacant facility in Hungen, Germany, was sold for its approximate carrying cost. In the first quarter of 2013, the Company concluded that the carrying value of its Ireland facility, associated with the Europe segment, exceeded its net estimated realizable value, and therefore recorded an impairment charge, within general and administrative expenses, of $1.0 million, equal to the amount by which carrying value exceeded net estimated realizable value. In September 2013, the facility in Ireland was sold at an additional loss of $0.7 million. See note 10. In the third quarter of 2013, the Company determined that $1.6 million in development costs incurred during 2013 met the criteria for capitalization as internally developed, internal-use software, resulting in an immaterial adjustment in each of the first and second quarters of 2013. The Company will depreciate the capitalized software costs over three years.
