We supplement the facilities listed above by leasing various facilities worldwide. We believe that the duration of each lease is adequate and we do not anticipate any future problems renewing or obtaining suitable leases for our principal properties. On December 18, 2021, QxH experienced a fire at its Rocky Mount distribution center in North Carolina and as a result closed the facility. The Company leveraged its existing fulfillment centers and supplemented these facilities with short-term leased space as needed during 2022 and 2023. We continue to assess our network footprint and are making investments to expand capacity and increase throughput as a result of the loss of the Rocky Mount fulfillment center.
In December 2023, QVC entered into an agreement to sell an owned and operated property in Germany to an independent third party. This property is owned as of December 31, 2023, but included as an assets held for sale noncurrent in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. Refer to note 18 in the accompanying notes to our consolidated financial statements for further details.
