Impairment Losses

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 2015,  2014 and 2013, the Company recognized impairment losses related to leasehold improvement assets of $0.4 million, $0.4 million, and $0.1 million, respectively, in its Customer Management Services segment.

During the third and fourth quarters of 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges of $3.1 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to the goodwill balance for the WebMetro reporting unit within the CGS segment. See Note 6 for further information. These expenses were included in the Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.8 million related to the goodwill balance for the Latin America reporting unit within the CMS segment. See Note 6 for further information. This expense was included in the Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

During the second quarter of 2013, the Company recorded an impairment charge of $1.1 million related to the PRG trade name intangible asset within the CSS segment. See Note 7 for further information. This expense was included in the Impairment losses in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
