Note 8 – 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 health care 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 and nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company closed five and 68 retail stores, respectively, and recorded charges of $6 million and $211 million, respectively, within operating expenses in the Retail/LTC Segment. The charges are primarily comprised of provisions for the present value of noncancelable lease obligations.

 

The noncancelable lease obligations associated with stores closed during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 extend through the year 2039. In connection with the enterprise streamlining initiative, the Company expects to record additional charges of approximately $9 million during the fourth quarter of 2017 as it continues to rationalize the number of retail stores.
