Environmental remediation matter

In 2015 and 2014, the Company accrued $0.9 million and $0.3 million, respectively, related to estimated future remediation of an environmental matter involving land owned in Decatur, Alabama, that was part of a division that was previously sold in 2014. Refer to "Environmental Matter" in Note 12 for further details.

Impairment loss

In 2014, the Company completed the sale of its Reno, Nevada, distribution center. As part of the review of the impact of a sale, the Company determined that the full carrying amount of the asset was not recoverable. Therefore, the Company recorded a $3.0 million non-cash impairment charge prior to the sale. The Company entered into an agreement to leaseback approximately one-half of the building for a 10-year term.
