In the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company updated its strategic path forward based on the current business environment and economic challenges for its China business. In anticipation of a prolonged sales process given the challenging environment, the Company's updated internal projections (based on a probability weighted cash flows approach), resulted in a long-lived asset impairment loss recorded in cost of sales of $11.0 million in the fourth quarter of 2016. The Company continued to pursue process improvement initiatives through the first half of 2017; however, in the third quarter of 2017, the Company completed an accelerated sale of China, recognizing a pre-tax loss of $19.9 million.
