we have concluded that this divestiture did not meet the requirements to be presented as a discontinued operation and , therefore , have recorded a pretax gain on sale in other ( income ) expense , net of approximately $ 6.9 million ( $ 10.2 million , inclusive of a tax benefit ) in our consolidated statement of operations for the year ended december 31 , 2014. revenues from our international shredding operations in 2014 represented less than 1 % of our consolidated revenues . the international shredding operations in australia were previously included in the other international business segment and the international shredding operations in ireland and the united kingdom were previously included in the western european business segment . 37 cost optimization plans during the third quarter of 2013 , we implemented a plan that called for certain organizational realignments to advance our growth strategy and reduce operating costs ( the “ organizational restructuring ” ) , which was completed in 2014. as a result of the organizational restructuring , we recorded charges of $ 23.4 million and $ 3.5 million for the years ended december 31 , 2013 and 2014 , respectively , primarily related to employee severance and associated benefits . costs included in our results from operations associated with the organizational restructuring are as follows ( in thousands ) : replace_table_token_11_th costs recorded by segment associated with the organizational restructuring are as follows ( in thousands ) : replace_table_token_12_th during the third quarter of 2015 , we implemented a plan that calls for certain organizational realignments to reduce our overhead costs , particularly in our developed markets , in order to optimize our selling , general and administrative cost structure and to support investments to advance our growth strategy ( the “ transformation initiative ” ) , which is expected to be completed by the end of 2017. as a result of the transformation initiative , we recorded charges of $ 10.2 million for the year ended december 31 , 2015 , primarily related to employee severance and associated benefits . costs included in our results from operations associated with the transformation initiative are as follows ( in thousands ) : year ended december 31 , 2015 cost of sales ( excluding depreciation and amortization ) $ — selling , general and administrative expenses 10,167 total $ 10,167 costs recorded by segment associated with the transformation initiative are as follows ( in thousands ) : year ended december 31 , 2015 north american records and information management business $ 5,403 north american data management business 241 western european business 1,537 other international business — corporate and other business 2,986 total $ 10,167 38 in the first quarter of 2016 , we implemented additional actions associated with our transformation initiative . as a result of these actions , we expect to record a charge of approximately $ 7.0 million , primarily related to employee severance and associated benefits , and included as a component of selling , general and administrative expenses . of this charge , approximately $ 4.4 million , $ 0.7 million , $ 0.1 million and $ 1.8 million was associated with our north american records and information management business , north american data management business , western european business and corporate and other business segments , respectively . as we quantify incremental costs associated with future transformation initiative actions to achieve our $ 125.0 million cost reduction goal , we will disclose the relevant cost estimates and charges in the period that such actions are approved . general as a result of a realignment in our senior management reporting structure during the first quarter of 2015 , we modified our internal financial reporting to better align internal reporting with how we manage our business . these modifications resulted in the separation of our former international business segment into two unique reportable operating segments , which we refer to as ( 1 ) western european business segment and ( 2 ) other international business segment . also , during the first quarter of 2015 , we reassessed the nature of certain costs which were previously being allocated to the north american records and information management business and north american data management business segments . as a result of this reassessment , we determined that certain product management functions , which were previously being performed to solely benefit our north american operating segments , are now being performed in a manner that benefits the enterprise as a whole . accordingly , the costs associated with these product management functions are now included within the corporate and other business segment . additionally , during the fourth quarter of 2015 , as a result of changes in the senior management of our business in norway , we determined that our norway operations are now being managed as a component of our other international business segment rather than as a component of our western european business segment . as a result of these changes noted above , previously reported segment information has been restated to conform to the current presentation . our revenues consist of storage rental revenues as well as service revenues and are reflected net of sales and value added taxes . storage rental revenues , which are considered a key driver of financial performance for the storage and information management services industry , consist primarily of recurring periodic rental charges related to the storage of materials or data ( generally on a per unit basis ) that are typically retained by customers for many years and technology escrow services that protect and manage source code ( `` intellectual property management `` ) . story_separator_special_tag we use discounted cash flow models to determine the fair value of customer relationship intangible assets , which requires a significant amount of judgment by management , including estimating expected lives of the relationships , expected future cash flows and discount rates . of the key assumptions that impact the estimated fair values of customer relationship intangible assets , the expected future cash flows and discount rate are among the most sensitive and are considered to be critical assumptions . to illustrate the sensitivity of changes in key assumptions used in determining the fair value of customer relationship intangible assets acquired in our most significant acquisition in fiscal year 2015 ( crozier ) , a hypothetical increase of 10 % in the expected annual future cash flows attributable to this acquisition , with all other assumptions unchanged , would have increased the calculated fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangible assets for this acquisition by $ 1.6 million ( or 10.0 % ) , with an offsetting decrease to goodwill . a hypothetical decrease of 100 basis points in the discount rate , with all other assumptions unchanged , would have increased the fair value of the acquired customer relationship intangible asset for this acquisition by $ 0.8 million ( or 5.1 % ) , with an offsetting decrease to goodwill . our estimates of fair value are based upon assumptions believed to be reasonable at that time but which are inherently uncertain and unpredictable . assumptions may be incomplete or inaccurate , and unanticipated events and circumstances may occur , which may affect the accuracy of such assumptions . 44 impairment of tangible and intangible assets assets subject to depreciation or amortization : we review long-lived assets and all amortizable intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of such assets may not be recoverable . examples of events or circumstances that may be indicative of impairment include , but are not limited to : a significant decrease in the market price of an asset ; a significant change in the extent or manner in which a long-lived asset is being used or in its physical condition ; a significant adverse change in legal factors or in the business climate that could affect the value of the asset ; an accumulation of costs significantly greater than the amount originally expected for the acquisition or construction of an asset ; a current-period operating or cash flow loss combined with a history of operating or cash flow losses or a projection or forecast that demonstrates continuing losses associated with the use of a long-lived asset ; and a current expectation that , more likely than not , an asset will be sold or otherwise disposed of significantly before the end of its previously estimated useful life . if events indicate the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable , recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows of the operation to which the assets relate to their carrying amount . the operations are generally distinguished by the business segment and geographic region in which they operate . if the operation is determined to be unable to recover the carrying amount of its assets , the long-lived assets are written down , on a pro rata basis , to fair value . fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows or appraised values , depending upon the nature of the assets . goodwill and intangible assets not subject to amortization : goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are not amortized but are reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if impairment indicators arise . other than goodwill , we currently have no intangible assets that have indefinite lives and which are not amortized . we have selected october 1 as our annual goodwill impairment analysis date . we performed our annual goodwill impairment analysis as of october 1 , 2013 , 2014 and 2015 and concluded that goodwill was not impaired as of those dates . our reporting units , at which level we performed our goodwill impairment analysis as of october 1 , 2015 , were as follows : ( 1 ) north american records and information management ( which includes intellectual property management and fulfillment services ) ; ( 2 ) north american secure shredding ; ( 3 ) north american data management ; ( 4 ) adjacent businesses - data centers ( which consists primarily of our data center business in the united states ) ; ( 5 ) adjacent businesses - consumer storage ( which consists of a consumer storage business with operations in the united states acquired in april 2015 ) ; ( 6 ) the united kingdom , ireland and norway ( the “ uki and norway ” reporting unit ) ; ( 7 ) austria , belgium , france , germany , netherlands , spain and switzerland ( the “ continental western europe ” reporting unit ) ; ( 8 ) the remaining countries in europe in which we operate , excluding russia , ukraine and denmark ( the “ emerging markets - eastern europe ” reporting unit ) ; ( 9 ) latin america ; ( 10 ) australia and singapore ; ( 11 ) china and hong kong ( the “ greater china ” reporting unit ) ; ( 12 ) india ; and ( 13 ) russia , ukraine and denmark . see note 2.g . to notes to consolidated financial statements included in our annual report for a description of our reporting units . based on our goodwill impairment analysis as of october 1 , 2015 , all of our reporting units with goodwill had estimated fair values that exceeded their carrying values by greater than 25 % . as of december 31 , 2015 , no factors were identified that would alter our october 1 , 2015 goodwill impairment analysis . in making
