Long-lived assets are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. As a result of the impairment charge recognized in the fourth quarter of 2013 related to the indefinite-lived intangible assets of Chasing Fireflies, HSNi assessed if there was an impairment of any of this brand’s long-lived assets and determined that there was none. As we periodically reassess estimated future cash flows and asset fair values, changes in our estimates and assumptions may cause us to realize additional impairment charges in the future.
