(3)Asset impairment charges, loss on transfer of previously impaired assets to a third party, severance charges, and site closure costs in the Advanced Materials ("AM") segment due to the closure of an advanced interlayers manufacturing facility in North America as part of site optimization. In addition, accelerated depreciation of $4 million and $8 million was recognized in "Cost of sales" in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings, Comprehensive Income and Retained Earnings in 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the closure of this facility. (4)Severance charges in 2022 for the closure of a performance films research and development facility, fixed asset impairments, severance charges, and site closure costs in 2021 and 2020 from the closure of a performance films manufacturing facility in North America as part of site optimization.

The estimated fair values were determined using an income approach, specifically, the relief from royalty method, including some unobservable inputs. The impairments are primarily the result of weakened demand in transportation markets impacted by COVID-19 and increased competitive pricing pressure as a result of global capacity increases.
