  (a)

In 2019, asset impairment charges primarily related to Food Distribution segment, including the Caito trade name. In 2018 and 2017, asset impairment charges were incurred primarily 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.

  (b)

The charge on customer advance relates to an advance to an independent retailer customer which was not fully recoverable. See Note 15 “Concentration of Credit Risk” for further discussion.

  (c)

Gain (loss) on sales of assets were primarily related to the sale of a closed Food Distribution warehouse in 2019, a closed Military warehouse and closed Retail stores in 2018 and closed Retail stores in 2017.

  (d)

Other costs associated with distribution center and store closings represent additional costs, including labor, inventory transfer and other administrative costs, incurred in connection with restructuring operations in the Food Distribution and Retail segments.

  (e)

Changes in estimates primarily relate to revised estimates for turnover and other lease ancillary costs associated with previously closed locations, which were generally lower than the initial estimates at certain properties in 2019 and 2018 and reflected the deterioration of the condition of certain properties in 2017.

  (f)

Lease termination adjustments represent the benefits recognized in connection with early lease buyouts for previously closed sites. Payments made in connection with lease buyouts were applied to reserves for closed properties and lease liabilities, as applicable.
