Asset impairment and facility consolidation charges (gains)

For each year presented, we recognized charges related to facility consolidations efforts, and also recorded non-cash impairment charges to reduce the book value of goodwill, other intangible assets and long-lived assets. In 2015, we recorded a gain on the sale of our headquarters building.

Goodwill: In each year presented, we recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges for certain reporting units within our Digital Segment. As disclosed in Note 4, based on an interim goodwill impairment test performed during the third quarter of 2016, we recorded a non-cash goodwill impairment charge of $15.2 million during the third quarter of 2016, representing the full amount of goodwill for that reporting unit.

In addition, during 2015 and 2014 in connection with interim and annual goodwill impairment tests, we recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges related to certain reporting units within our Digital Segment (primarily PointRoll, CoFactor and BLiNQ).

Other Intangibles: During 2015 and 2014, we recorded non-cash impairment charges within our Digital Segment for certain intangible assets, principally trade names, after the qualitative assessments indicated it was more likely than not that the carrying values exceeded the respective fair values. Accordingly, we prepared quantitative assessments in both years which also indicated that impairments existed. As a result of these assessments, we recorded non-cash impairment charges to reduce the carrying value of each asset to its respective fair value. Fair values were determined using a relief-from-royalty method. The impairments recorded were principally a result of revenue projections which were lower than expected. In 2014, the revised revenue projections were also coupled with a decrease in royalty rates of comparable arrangements thus negatively impacting our royalty assumptions.

Other charges (gains): Other charges recorded by Media, Digital and Corporate during 2016 include: a $4.7 million impairment associated with a long-lived asset previously used by Corporate and Media that is now held for sale, and therefore, was written down to its estimated fair value (which was determined using comparable market transactions); a $6.2 million charge associated with an internally produced program at our Media Segment; a $4.6 million lease exit accrual at our Digital Segment; and a $1.4 million impairment associated with a disposal of a long-lived asset at our Digital Segment.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, we recorded a pre-tax gain of $89.9 million ($54.9 million after tax) on the sale of our corporate headquarters building. Other charges recorded at our Media and Digital Segments during 2015 and 2014 primarily relate to facility consolidation plans which led us to recognize charges associated with revising the useful lives of certain assets over a shortened period as well as shutdown costs.
