Depreciation expense, including amortization of capital leases, was $765.4 million in 2017, $608.7 million in 2016 and $495.8 million in 2015. In fiscal 2016, Sysco announced its revised business technology strategy focused on improving the customer experience. In refocusing its technology approach, Sysco created plans to modernize and add new capability and functionality to its existing SUS Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system. In connection with this strategy, Sysco created plans to remove the SAP ERP platform then used by 12 of its operating companies by the end of fiscal 2017. At the time of the decision, the company had $31.6 million recorded as construction in progress for incomplete projects for the SAP ERP platform and $251.1 million in net book value for internal use software for the SAP ERP platform, with a remaining life of three years. These are included within “computer hardware and software” in the table above. Sysco concluded that the projects under development would not be completed and expensed the $31.6 million in construction in progress in fiscal 2016 within operating expense in the consolidated results of operations. The company tested the internal use software for the SAP ERP platform for impairment on an undiscounted cash flow basis and concluded that those cash flows would be sufficient to recover the full asset value for the remaining period the asset is planned to be in use. Sysco shortened the remaining life of the internal use assets to be fully amortized by the end of fiscal 2017, concurrent with the expected time frame to fully migrate the 12 operating companies to the SUS ERP system, which was completed as of July 1, 2017. For fiscal years 2017 and 2016, Sysco recognized an additional $111.3 million and $41.9 million, respectively, in amortization expense as a result of shortening the useful lives of these assets.
