For the thirteen weeks ended  May 3, 2025, we recorded impairment charges of $140 million to write down the WSS tradename and charges of $110 million related to goodwill. The review of goodwill was the result of a triggering event due to a reduction in the Company's stock price and resulting market capitalization, coupled with general macroeconomic factors. Additionally, we recorded $15 million in impairment charges of long-lived assets and right-of-use assets. In connection with the previously announced global headquarters relocation and the shutdown of our businesses in South Korea, Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, we recorded accelerated tenancy and lease termination charges of $8 million. We have closed all stores operating in those regions as we focus on improving the overall results of international operations. Finally, we incurred $3 million of reorganization costs primarily related to the announced closure and relocation of the Company's global headquarters and the shutdown costs.
