The Company recognized depreciation expense of $248.3 million, $245.4 million and $210.5 million during 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. During 2018, the Company spent $348.7 million on capital projects and transferred $246.5 million of completed projects from construction-in-progress to depreciable assets. Capital expenditures were primarily incurred during 2018 to improve operational efficiencies and reduce costs. During 2017, the Company spent $339.9 million on capital projects and transferred $411.8 million of completed projects from construction-in-progress to depreciable assets. During 2018, the Company sold certain PP&E for $9.8 million and recognized a gain of $1.9 million. PP&E sold in 2018 included processing plants in Alabama and Minnesota, a residential building in Georgia, vacant land in Georgia and North Carolina, and miscellaneous equipment. During 2017, the Company sold certain PP&E for $4.5 million and recognized a gain of $0.5 million. PP&E sold in 2017 included processing plants in Texas and Ireland, a feed mill in Arkansas, a hatchery in the U.K., poultry farms in Alabama and Texas, vacant land in Texas and miscellaneous equipment. At December 30, 2018, the Company reported properties and related assets totaling $0.2 million in Assets held for sale on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair values of the miscellaneous equipment that were classified as assets held for sale as of December 30, 2018 were based on quoted market prices. The Company tested the recoverability of its Minnesota processing complex held for sale at various effective dates during 2018. The Company determined that the aggregate carrying amount of this asset group at various times during 2018 was not recoverable over the remaining life of the primary asset in the group and recognized impairment costs of $0.8 million within its U.S. segment, which is reported in the line item Administrative restructuring charges on its Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. The Minnesota processing complex was sold in the fourth quarter of 2018. The Company tested the recoverability of assets owned by Rose Energy Ltd. at various effective dates during 2018. The Company determined that the aggregate carrying amount of this asset group at December 30, 2018 was not recoverable over the remaining life of the primary asset in the group and recognized impairment costs of $2.6 million within its U.K. and Europe segment, which is reported in the line item Administrative restructuring charges on its Consolidated and Combined Statements of Income. The Company has closed or idled various facilities in the U.S. and in the U.K. Neither the Board of Directors nor JBS has determined if it would be in the best interest of the Company to divest any of these idled assets. Management is therefore not certain that it can or will divest any of these assets within one year, is not actively marketing these assets and, accordingly, has not classified them as assets held for sale. The Company continues to depreciate these assets. At December 30, 2018, the carrying amount of these idled assets was $44.7 million based on depreciable value of $154.4 million and accumulated depreciation of $109.7 million. During 2018, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $0.1 million related to leasehold improvements at an idled administrative office. At December 30, 2018, the Company assessed if events or changes in circumstances indicated that the aggregate carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment held for use might not be recoverable. There were no indicators present that required the Company to test the recoverability of the aggregate carrying amount of its property, plant and equipment held for use at that date.
