The additions in 2025 are primarily related to assets acquired from our on-going expansion of our Frederick, CO. facility. Interest costs incurred during construction of facilities are capitalized as part of the cost of the asset. Capitalized interest was approximately $14 million in 2025, $7 million in 2024 and $6 million in 2023.

During 2025, there were no asset impairments. During 2024 and 2023, we recorded asset impairments of $2 million and $11 million, respectively. Depreciation expenses were $178 million in 2025, $149 million in 2024 and $128 million in 2023. In 2025 and 2024 we retired approximately $59 million and $78 million, respectively, of assets, the majority of which were fully depreciated and no longer in use.
