4. Restructuring and Long-lived Asset Impairment

Restructuring

On September 3, 2019, the Board of Directors of CWH approved a plan to strategically shift its business away from locations where the Company does not have the ability or where it is not feasible to sell and/or service RVs (the “2019 Strategic Shift”). As of September 3, 2019, the Company operated 37 locations that do not sell and/or service RVs but sell an assortment of outdoor lifestyle products (the “Outdoor Lifestyle Locations”), and had an additional five Outdoor Lifestyle Locations that were previously closed or had not opened as of that date. In addition, the Company operated seven specialty retail locations operated by TheHouse.com, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Of the Outdoor Lifestyle Locations operating at September 3, 2019, the Company closed three locations during September 2019 and currently expects to either sell, divest, repurpose, relocate or close 28 of the remaining Outdoor Lifestyle Locations, at which sales and/or service of RVs cannot be performed, and two of the seven specialty retail locations operated by TheHouse.com. The Company was able to, or is in the process of, acquiring and/or obtaining the developmental consents, approvals and permits necessary for the sale and/or service of RVs at six of the Outdoor Lifestyle Locations. As part of the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company has evaluated the impact on the Company’s supporting infrastructure and operations, which included rationalizing inventory levels and composition, closing one of its distribution centers, and realigning other resources. The Company expects the majority of the store closures and/or divestitures related to the

2019 Strategic Shift to be completed by January 31, 2020.The Company will have a reduction of headcount and labor costs for those locations that are sold, divested or closed and the Company expects to incur material charges associated with the activities contemplated under the 2019 Strategic Shift. In connection with the 2019 Strategic Shift, the Company expects to incur costs relating to one-time employee termination benefits of $1.0 million, contract termination costs of between $10.0 million and $15.0 million, incremental inventory reserve charges of $27.3 million, and other associated costs of between $4.0 million and $6.0 million.

The Company evaluated the requirements of ASC No. 205-20, Presentation of Financial Statements – Discontinued Operations relative to the 2019 Strategic Shift and determined that discontinued operations treatment is not applicable. Accordingly, the results of operations of the locations impacted by the 2019 Strategic Shift are reported as part of continuing operations in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Long-lived Asset Impairment

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company had indicators of impairment of the long-lived assets for certain of its locations, primarily those locations discussed above related to the 2019 Strategic Shift. For locations that failed the recoverability test based on an analysis of undiscounted cash flows, the Company estimated the fair value of the locations based on a discounted cash flow analysis. After performing the long-lived asset impairment test for these locations, the Company determined that 38 locations within the RV and Outdoor Retail segment had long-lived assets that were impaired. Of these 38 locations with long-lived assets that were impaired, two locations were unrelated to the 2019 Strategic Shift, 26 locations were Outdoor Lifestyle Locations that were operating at September 30, 2019, seven locations were Outdoor Lifestyle Locations that were closed as of September 30, 2019, and three locations were specialty retail locations operated by TheHouse.com. The long-lived asset impairment charge, subject to limitations described below, was calculated as the amount that the carrying value of the locations exceeded the estimated fair value. The calculated long-lived asset impairment charge was allocated to each of the

categories of long-lived assets at each location pro rata based on the long-lived assets’ carrying values, except that individual assets cannot be impaired below their individual fair values when that fair value can be determined without undue cost and effort. For most of these locations, the operating lease right-of-use assets and furniture and equipment were written down to their individual fair values and the remaining impairment charge was allocated to the remaining long-lived assets up to the fair value estimated on these assets based on liquidation value estimates.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company recorded long-lived asset impairment charges relating to leasehold improvements, furniture and equipment, and operating lease right-of-use assets of $16.9 million, $23.7 million, and $9.4 million, respectively. Of the $50.0 million long-lived asset impairment charge during the three months ended September 30, 2019, $48.3 million related to the 2019 Strategic Shift discussed above.
