Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
Facility consolidation and asset impairment charges | Facility consolidation and asset impairment charges We evaluated the carrying values of property, plant and equipment at certain publishing and digital businesses as a result of our ongoing facility consolidation efforts. We revised the useful lives of certain assets to reflect the use of those assets over a shortened period as a result. In the second quarter of 2015, we recognized related non-cash charges, the largest of which, $6.8 million, related to a digital business. Certain assets classified as held-for-sale according to Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 360 resulted in us recognizing non-cash charges in 2014 as we reduced the carrying values to equal the fair value less cost to dispose. The fair values were based on the estimated prices of similar assets. In 2015, we also recorded non-cash impairment charges to reduce the book value of goodwill and other intangible assets. The goodwill impairment and other intangible non-cash charges resulted from our application of the interim impairment testing provisions included within the goodwill subtopic ASC Topic 350. We are required to test goodwill and other indefinite lived assets for impairment annually. Our annual measurement date for testing is the first day of the fourth quarter. However, because of softening business conditions at one of our smaller Publishing Segment reporting units in 2015 and two similar units in 2014, we accelerated our testing of those units. Our testing showed that the implied fair value of the goodwill was less than the recorded value. Therefore, we recognized a non-cash charge of $5.9 million in the first quarter of 2015 and $15.3 million in the second quarter of 2014 to reduce the carrying value of goodwill to the implied fair value. We recorded pre-tax charges for facility consolidations and asset impairments of $20.8 million in the second quarter and $33.2 million for the year-to-date period in 2015. For 2014, we recorded $28.8 million pre-tax charges for the second quarter and $43.6 million for the year-to-date period.
