Depreciation expense was $347.1 million for the six months ended July 29, 2017 and $321.7 for the six months ended July 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 July 30, 2016 property at cost and accumulated depreciation were reduced by $858 million. There was no impact to net property at cost. This error was not material to our consolidated financial statements; however, we have corrected the July 30, 2016 amounts to reflect the write-off that should have been recorded at that time.
