17. Impairment and Other Items

We recorded $51 million in other items for the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $52 million related to charges related to the VERP, $25 million related to a non-cash discount charge on royalty receivables, offset by credits related to the release of an earnout accrual of $25 million, and credits related to gains on sales of previously reserved inventory of $20 million. The other items are reported in "Cost of revenue" ($10 million for the year ended December 31, 2023) and "Selling, general and administrative" ($41 million for the year ended December 31, 2023) in our Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).

As previously disclosed, in response to sanctions against Russia and Russian interests, the Company ceased new investments and curtailed our activities in Russia. Further, during the third quarter of 2022, the Company sold its business in Belarus and committed to a plan to sell its businesses in Russia. The sale is subject to government approval under Russian law. We expect to complete the sale of our Russian entities within the next 12 months, subject to regulatory approval. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, all our Russian assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale and reported in “Prepaid and Other Current Assets” and “Accrued Liabilities”, respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

We recorded $114 million in other items for the year ended December 31, 2022, of which $127 million relates to impairments for Russia and Belarus. The other items are reported in "Cost of revenue" ($63 million for the year ended December 31, 2022) and "Selling, general and administrative" ($51 million for the year ended December 31, 2022) in our Consolidated Statement of Income (Loss).
