Note 4 – Store Closures

 

In December 2016, the Company announced an enterprise streamlining initiative designed to reduce costs and enhance operating efficiencies to allow the Company to be more competitive in the current healthcare environment. In connection with the enterprise streamlining initiative, the Company announced its intention to rationalize the number of retail stores by closing approximately 70 underperforming stores during the year ending December 31, 2017. During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company closed 60 retail stores and recorded a charge of $199 million within operating expenses in the Retail/LTC Segment which is primarily comprised of a provision for the present value of noncancelable lease obligations.

 

The noncancelable lease obligations associated with stores closed during the three months ended March 31, 2017 extend through the year 2039. In connection with the enterprise streamlining initiative, the Company expects to record additional charges of approximately $20 million during the remainder of 2017 to rationalize the number of retail stores.
