Other Charges.
Mexico Store Consolidation Plan. During 2015, management closed 34 stores in Mexico. All of the accounts in the 34 stores closed were merged into existing stores. These store closures resulted in pre-tax restructuring charges of $2.8 million and $3.1 million in the Mexico segment for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2015, respectively, for disposal of fixed assets and leasehold improvements and other charges to decommission the stores.
Sourcing and Distribution Network Startup Costs. As a result of an agreement with a third-party logistics partner, we incurred approximately $1.7 million of one-time costs to set up warehousing facilities and distribution routes, reflected in the Core U.S. segment.
Sale of Stores. In June 2015, we sold six Core U.S. rent-to-own stores in a single transaction, resulting in a $0.6 million loss.
Core U.S. Store Consolidation Plan. During the second quarter of 2014, we closed 150 Core U.S. stores and merged those accounts into existing Core U.S. stores, resulting in a pre-tax restructuring charge of $4.4 million during the second quarter of 2014. This charge included approximately $3.2 million of accelerated depreciation expense for fixed assets, leasehold improvements and write-off of merchandise inventory, $0.9 million in early lease termination costs and $0.3 million of other operating costs to decommission the stores.
