Calder Exit Costs
CALDER EXIT COSTS
On July 1, 2014, we finalized an agreement with The Stronach Group ("TSG") that expires on December 31, 2020 under which we permit TSG to operate and manage Calder's racetrack and certain other racing and training facilities and to provide live horseracing under Calder’s racing permits. During the term of the agreement, TSG pays Calder a racing services fee and is responsible for the direct and indirect costs of maintaining the racing premises, including the training facilities and applicable barns, and TSG receives the associated revenue from the operation.
During 2015, we continued our assessment of potential alternative uses of the Calder property that is not associated with the TSG lease agreement. Based on our analysis, we razed the barns that were not associated with the TSG agreement and commenced the demolition of the grandstand and certain ancillary facilities. In 2015, we recognized Calder exit costs of $13.9 million consisting of a non-cash impairment charge of $12.7 million to reduce the net book value of the grandstand assets to zero and $1.2 million for demolition costs related to the removal of the grandstand and the barns and to prepare the stable area for alternate future uses. We expect to obtain operational efficiencies as a result of the demolition including savings in property taxes, repair and maintenance, utilities, permitting and environmental maintenance expenditures. We reclassified $2.3 million of severance and other benefit costs which were previously reported in selling, general and administrative expense in 2014 into Calder exits costs in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
