Net of accumulated impairment charges of $86.6 million.

The Company reviews goodwill and other intangible assets for impairment annually, during the fourth quarter of each fiscal year, and more frequently if circumstances indicate the possibility of impairment. As of the date of the most recent goodwill impairment test, which utilized data and assumptions as of October 8, 2016, the Food Distribution reporting unit had a fair value that was substantially in excess of its carrying value and the fair value of the Retail reporting unit, which had $190.5 million of recorded goodwill as of the assessment date, exceeded its carrying value by 13.1%. The fair value calculations contain significant judgments and estimates related to the Retail reporting unit’s projected weighted average cost of capital, future revenues and cash flows, and overall profitability. These judgments and estimates are impacted by a number of different factors, both internal and external, that could result in changes in the estimates and their related outcomes. Specifically, certain changes in economic, industry or market conditions, business operations, competition, or the Company’s performance could affect the estimates used in the fair value calculations.

The Company continues to assess whether indicators are present or if there are changes in circumstances that would suggest impairment may exist, including an evaluation of business climate changes and the significant estimates related to the Retail reporting unit’s future revenues, cash flows and profitability. Since the most recent goodwill impairment test, the Company continues to monitor the trends of the Retail reporting unit’s performance. At this time the Company is not aware of any events or significant changes in its estimates that would indicate that impairment exists, and the Company has sufficient available information, both current and historical, to support its assumptions, judgments and estimates. From a sensitivity perspective, no goodwill impairment charge would be required for the Retail reporting unit if the estimate of future discounted cash flows was 2.5% lower or if the discount rate increased by 35 basis points. If the Company’s stock price experiences a significant and sustained decline or other events or changes in circumstances occur, such as interest rate increases, changes in macroeconomic conditions, or operating results of the Retail reporting unit not meeting the Company’s estimates, it could result in the Company recording a significant non-cash impairment charge.
