The increase in the Company’s intangible franchise rights in 2017 was primarily related to the addition of franchise rights associated with the purchase of 12 dealerships in the U.K. and three dealerships in the U.S. The 2017 additions were partially offset by impairments of $12.6 million and $6.7 million in the U.S. and Brazil, respectively. The decrease in the Company’s intangible franchise rights in 2016 was primarily related to impairments in the U.S. and Brazil of $19.9 million and $9.9 million, respectively, as a result of the Company’s interim and annual impairment assessments. The impairments were partially offset by the addition of franchise rights associated with the purchase of 12 dealerships in the U.K. during the year ended December 31, 2016.
