Depreciation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was $89.0 million and $87.0 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, depreciation expense was $275.3 million and $253.0 million, respectively. We recognized $14.0 million of incremental depreciation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 as a result of shortening the useful lives of certain assets related to the Wallula mill restructuring and a corporate administration facility.

At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, purchases of property, plant, and equipment included in accounts payable were $46.2 million and $29.8 million, respectively.
