Restructuring and asset impairment charges in the current year were primarily incurred in the Retail segment due to the economic and competitive environment of certain stores and in conjunction with the Company’s retail store rationalization plan. The Company also realized a gain on the sale of a Military distribution center in the second quarter of 2018, an asset impairment charge related to certain discontinued Food Distribution warehouse equipment in the first quarter of 2018, and other closing costs related to a Food Distribution warehouse in the prior year. The changes in estimates relate to revised estimates of ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations, due to lower than expected costs, offset by the deterioration of the condition of certain properties. The lease termination adjustments represent the benefits recognized in connection with lease buyouts negotiated related to previously closed stores.

Long-lived assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as further described in Note 6 – Fair Value Measurements. Assets with a book value of $2.4 million were measured at a fair value of $0.4 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $2.0 million in 2018. Assets with a book value of $48.6 million were measured at a fair value of $14.9 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $33.7 million in 2017. Fair value of long-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, discounted using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. The Company estimates future cash flows based on historical results of operations, external factors expected to impact future performance, experience and knowledge of the geographic area in which the assets are located, and when necessary, uses real estate brokers. In the prior year quarter, it was determined that the carrying value of the Retail segment exceeded its fair value, and the company recorded a goodwill impairment charge of $189.0 million.
