Depreciation expense was $172.6 million for the three months ended April 29, 2017 and $160.0 million for the three months ended April 30, 2016. Depreciation expense was $658.8 million for the twelve months ended January 28, 2017.

During fiscal 2017 the Company identified fully depreciated assets that were no longer in use and should have been written off during fiscal 2017 or prior periods. The April 30, 2016 property at cost and accumulated depreciation was reduced by $840 million. There was no impact to net property at cost. This error was not material to our consolidated financial statements, however we have corrected amounts for the quarter ended April 30, 2016 to reflect the write-off that should have been recorded at that time.
