Write-down of Rental Merchandise. During 2015, we projected that we would not recover the carrying value of certain smartphones. We recorded a $34.7 million impairment charge, included in cost of revenues in the accompanying statement of operations.
Vendor Settlement Credit. We participated in an anti-trust class-action suit as an entity that indirectly purchased liquid-crystal displays from certain manufacturers during the period from 1999 to 2006. We received net proceeds of approximately $6.8 million pursuant to a negotiated settlement of this matter based on the number of LCD units purchased during that time period. The settlement proceeds are reported as a reduction to cost of goods sold in the consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014.
