6.	Exit and Realignment Costs

We periodically incur exit and realignment and other charges associated with optimizing our operations, which includes the consolidation of distribution centers and closure of offsite warehouses. During the first three months of 2013, we recognized total charges of $0.9 million in the Domestic segment and $0.5 million in the International segment associated with these activities. These charges include $0.5 million in loss accruals for operating leases, and the remainder is due to losses on property and equipment and other expenses. We expect additional exit and realignment charges of approximately $3.1 million over the remainder of 2013 for activities initiated in the Domestic segment through March 31, 2013.
