Depreciation and amortization expense was $78.1 million, $60.4 million and $58.3 million in 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively. These amounts included amortization expense for leased property under capital leases.

In 2013, the Company changed the useful lives of certain cold drink dispensing equipment to reflect the estimated remaining useful lives. The change in useful lives reduced depreciation expense in 2013 by $1.7 million ($0.11 per basic and diluted Common Stock and $0.11 per basic and diluted Class B Common Stock.)

During 2015, 2014, and 2013, the Company performed periodic reviews of property, plant and equipment and determined no material impairment existed.
