(a)	The provision for closing charges represents initial costs estimated to be incurred for lease and related ancillary costs, net of sublease income, related to store closings in the Retail segment.

(b)	The provision for severance represents severance charges made in connection with property closures.

(c)

As a result of changes in estimates, goodwill was reduced by $1.3 million in both the fiscal year ended January 3, 2015 and in the 39-week period ended December 28, 2013, respectively, as the initial charges for certain stores were adjusted in the purchase price allocations for previous acquisitions.

(d)	The lease termination adjustment represents the benefit recognized in connection with lease buyouts on two previously closed stores. The lease liabilities were formerly included in the Company’s restructuring cost liability based on initial estimates.

Restructuring charges and asset impairment included in the consolidated statements of earnings consisted of the following:

	January 2, 2016			January 3, 2015			December 28, 2013
(In thousands)	(52 Weeks)			(53 Weeks)			(39 Weeks)
Asset impairment charges (a)	$	4,220		$	7,550		$	9,691
Provision for closing charges (b)		7,200			543			4,923
Gains on sales of assets related to closed facilities (c)		(2,997	)		(4,518	)		—
Provision for severance (d)		395			306			1,061
Other costs associated with distribution center and store closings		1,865			1,504			—
Changes in estimates (e)		(136	)		781			(31	)
Lease termination adjustment (f)		(1,745	)		—			—
	$	8,802		$	6,166		$	15,644

(a)

An asset impairment charge of $880 was recorded in the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016 related to a closed distribution center in the Military segment. The remaining asset impairment charges in each of the periods presented were incurred in the Retail segment due to the economic and competitive environment of certain stores.

(b)	The provision for closing charges represents estimated costs to be incurred for lease and related ancillary costs, net of sublease income, related to store closings in the Retail segment.

(c)	Gains on sales of assets resulted from the sale of a closed food distribution center and sales of closed stores in the fiscal year ended January 2, 2016. The remaining gains on sales in the other periods presented resulted from sales of closed stores in the Retail segment.

(d)	The provision for severance related to distribution center closings in the Food Distribution and Military segments and store closings in the Retail segment.

(e)

The majority of the changes in estimates relate to revised estimates of lease and ancillary costs associated with previously closed facilities in the Retail and Food Distribution segments. The Food Distribution segment realized $(0.3) million and $0.2 million in the fiscal years ended January 2, 2016 and January 3, 2015, respectively, and the remaining charges were incurred in the Retail segment.

(f)	The lease termination adjustment represents the benefit recognized in connection with lease buyouts on two previously closed stores.

Lease obligations for closed facilities included in restructuring costs include the present value of future minimum lease payments, calculated using a risk-free interest rate, and related ancillary costs from the date of closure to the end of the remaining lease term, net of estimated sublease income.

Long-lived assets are analyzed for impairment whenever circumstances arise that could indicate the carrying value of long-lived assets may not be recoverable. If such circumstances exist, then estimates are made of future cash flows expected to result from the use of the assets and their eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Measurement of the impairment loss to be recorded is equal to the excess of the carrying amount of the assets over the discounted future cash flows. When analyzing the assets for impairment, assets are grouped at the lowest level for which there are identifiable cash flows that are largely independent of the cash flows of other groups of assets.
