Total depreciation and amortization expense was $12.3 million, $10.9 million, and $10.2 million, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014, and 2013, respectively.

In 2015, the Company committed to a plan to abandon a long-lived asset acquired in the Intermountain transaction. The Company tested the asset for recoverability and no impairment loss was indicated. In conjunction with the recoverability test, the Company determined the asset would be abandoned before the end of its previously estimated useful life and revised its depreciation estimates accordingly. The total expected after tax expense related this activity is $2.1 million. For the current period, the revision resulted in a $514 thousand reduction to net income which was recorded to the line item Occupancy in the consolidated statements of income. The remaining after-tax expense of $1.6 million is expected to be incurred in the first quarter of 2016.
