Depreciation expense was $13.9 million, $13.0 million and $11.9 million for fiscal years 2020, 2019, and 2018. Included in property, plant, and equipment is finance leases. Amortization of finance leases was $1.0 million for fiscal year 2020.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, and has subsequently issued several supplemental and/or clarifying ASU's (collectively, "Topic 842"), which requires a dual approach for lease accounting under which a lessee would account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance leases and operating leases result in the lessee recognizing a right of use asset and a corresponding lease liability. For finance leases, the lessee would recognize interest expense and amortization of the right-of-use asset, and for operating leases, the lessee would recognize lease expense on a straight-line basis. See Note 17.
