(a)

Asset impairment charges in the current year include impairments of indefinite-lived trade names and long-lived assets within both the Wholesale and Retail segments as a result of changes in the competitive environment. Asset impairment charges of $8.0 million were incurred in 2023 within the Wholesale segment related to the Company's continued supply chain network optimization in response to customer demand changes. Additional charges in the prior year were incurred related to two store closures in the Retail segment and impairment losses related to a distribution location that sustained storm damage in the Wholesale segment. In 2022, charges were incurred primarily in the Retail segment and relate to restructuring of the Retail segment's e-commerce delivery model and a store closure.

(b)

Loss on sales of assets in the current year primarily relate to the sales of real and personal property of previously closed locations within both the Wholesale and Retail segments. In 2023, gain on sales of assets primarily relate to the sale of a store within the Retail segment. Gain on sales of assets in 2022 primarily relate to the sales of real property of previously closed locations within both the Wholesale and Retail segments.

(c)

Other costs activity in the current year primarily relates to restructuring activity within the Wholesale segment, including the closure of a distribution center. In 2023, activity primarily relates to Retail store closings. In 2022, activity primarily relates to restructuring activity within the Wholesale segment and Retail store closings.

(d)

Lease termination adjustments in the current year relate to the gains recognized to terminate lease agreements, which included the write-off of lease liabilities totaling $0.6 million and the write-off of lease ancillary costs included in the reserve for closed properties totaling $1.5 million.

During the second quarter, the Company evaluated an indefinite-lived trade name within the Retail segment for potential impairment. The indefinite-lived trade name with a book value of $23.7 million was measured at a fair value of $17.6 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $6.1 million. During the fourth quarter, the Company evaluated an indefinite-lived trade name within the Wholesale segment for potential impairment. The indefinite-lived trade name with a book value of $12.9 million was measured at a fair value of $6.2 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $6.7 million. Indefinite-lived intangible assets are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as further described in Note 8. Fair value of indefinite-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 and, in the case of indefinite-lived trade name assets, estimated royalty rates.

Long-lived assets which are not recoverable are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy, as further described in Note 8. In the current year, long-lived assets with a book value of $8.9 million were measured at a fair value of $0.7 million, resulting in impairment charges of $8.2 million. In the prior year, long-lived assets with a book value of $20.6 million were measured at a fair value of $8.9 million, resulting in impairment charges of $11.7 million. In 2022, long-lived assets with a book value of $5.2 million were measured at a fair value of $0.1 million, resulting in impairment charges of $5.1 million. The 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, consultations with real estate brokers.
