Asset impairments were zero in 2019, 2018 and 2017. Depreciation expense was $96 million in 2019, $103 million in 2018 and $92 million in 2017. Buildings and leasehold improvements include assets held under capital lease of $4 million and $4 million at October 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. In 2014 we entered into a binding contract to sell land in the United Kingdom that resulted in the transfers of three separate land tracts from 2014 through 2017 totaling approximately $34 million. In 2017 we recognized a gain of $8 million on the sale of the land tracts in other operating expense (income).
