The decrease in the Company’s intangible franchise rights in 2016 was primarily related to impairments in the U.S. and Brazil reportable segments of $19.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively, as a result of the Company’s interim and annual impairment assessments. These impairments were partially offset by the addition of franchise rights associated with the purchase of 12 dealerships in the U.K. reportable segment. The increase in the Company’s intangible franchise rights in 2015 was primarily related to the acquisitions in the U.S. described below, substantially offset by non-cash impairments recognized in Brazil.
