Each quarter, the Company reviews the performance and outlook for all of its real estate for indicators of potential impairment and performs detailed impairment evaluations and analyses when necessary. As a result of this process, no impairment charges were recorded during fiscal 2024. During fiscal 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded non-cash impairment charges of $19.4 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

During fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022 land purchase contract deposit and pre-acquisition cost write-offs related to land purchase contracts that the Company has terminated or expects to terminate were $4.1 million, $4.6 million and $8.7 million, respectively. These land option charges and the impairments discussed above are included in cost of sales in the consolidated statements of operations.
