Depreciation expense was $590 million in 2018, $571 million in 2017 and $518 million in 2016.
During 2018, the Company concluded that the negative operating results for certain of its Victoria's Secret stores were an indicator of potential impairment of the related long-lived store assets. The Company determined that the estimated undiscounted future cash flows were less than the carrying values and, as a result, recognized a loss equal to the difference between the carrying values and the estimated fair values, determined by the estimated discounted future cash flows. As a result, the Company recognized impairment charges of $81 million and $20 million in the third and fourth quarter of 2018, respectively. These charges are included in Costs of Goods Sold, Buying & Occupancy in the 2018 Consolidated Statement of Income. Impairment charges of $70 million, related to stores in the U.S. and Canada, were recorded within the Victoria's Secret segment. Impairment charges of $31 million, related to stores in the U.K., were recorded within the Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works International segment.
In 2016, the Company completed a sale and leaseback transaction under a noncancelable operating lease of a certain asset. The carrying value of the asset sold under this arrangement was $51 million. Proceeds of $51 million are included in Proceeds from Sale of Assets within the Investing Activities section of the 2016 Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows.
