During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company undertook a number of restructuring activities primarily associated with reductions in the Company's capacity and workforce in both the Customer Management Services and Customer Growth Services segments to better align the capacity and workforce with current business needs.

During the second quarter of 2012, the Company made the decision to cease operations in Spain and terminated the contracts with its clients. The Company notified the employees and commenced severance procedures as required under Spanish law. The Company recorded $14.7 million of severance expense and $0.4 million of center closure expenses for the year ended December 31, 2012 of which $13.5 million was paid and the remaining $1.6 million was included in Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2012.

The remaining restructuring accruals are expected to be paid or extinguished during 2013 and are all classified as current liabilities within Other accrued expenses in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

During each of the periods presented, the Company evaluated the recoverability of its leasehold improvement assets at certain delivery centers. An asset is considered to be impaired when the anticipated undiscounted future cash flows of its asset group are estimated to be less than the asset group's carrying value. The amount of impairment recognized is the difference between the carrying value of the asset group and its fair value. To determine fair value, the Company used Level 3 inputs in its discounted cash flows analysis. Assumptions included the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and assumed discount rates. During 2012, 2011 and 2010, the Company recognized impairment losses related to leasehold improvement assets of $1.2 million, $0.2 million, and $1.4 million, respectively, in its Customer Management Services segment.

During the 2012, the Company elected to rebrand the Direct Alliance Corporation (“DAC”) subsidiary to Revana™. The future cash flows associated with the trade name indefinite-lived intangible asset was less than the asset's carrying value, thus the $1.8 million asset was impaired as of March 31, 2012. This expense was included in the Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.
