[1] 1) Net of accumulated impairment of $97.8 million.The Company evaluates intangible franchise rights and goodwill assets for impairment annually or more frequently if events or circumstances indicate possible impairment. During the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company identified circumstances indicating possible impairment of some individual franchise rights and requiring a quantitative assessment. The Company did not identify any such circumstances relative to the goodwill for each of its reporting units. Based on the results of the Company's assessment, the Company determined that the fair values of the franchise rights on two U.S. franchises were below their respective carrying values, resulting in franchise asset impairment charges of $10.6 million. This was recognized as an asset impairment in the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations during the three months ended September 30, 2016.
