Depreciation expense for continuing operations was $254 million, $183 million and $197 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Depreciation expense for discontinued operations was nil, $19.3 million and $87.4 million in 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Depreciation expense was nil for 2019 as the Company ceased depreciating property, plant, and equipment relating to businesses which satisfied the criteria to be classified as held for sale during the second quarter of 2018.

In 2018, as part of the ATP, the Company approved a plan to market for sale the Commercial Business. This business had been classified as held for sale in the Company's historical Consolidated Balance Sheets. During 2019, the Company decided not to sell this business. As a result, the business no longer satisfied the requirements to be classified as held for sale in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2019. Accordingly, the Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2018 was recast to reclassify the Commercial Business from held for sale to held and used. The Company measured the business at the lower of its (i) carrying amount before it was classified as held for sale, adjusted for depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the Commercial Business been continuously classified as held and used, or (ii) fair value at the date the decision not to sell was made. The Company recorded a charge of $49.2 million in 2019 relating to the amount of depreciation expense that would have been recorded in prior periods had the Commercial Business been continuously classified as held and used.

During 2018, the Company recorded $41.1 million of impairment charges on certain other assets, the majority of which relate to the Home Fragrance business in the Home and Outdoor Living segment.
