The Company paid approximately $20 million of income and withholding taxes during the three months ended December 31, 2019 and paid approximately $7 million of income and withholding taxes during the three months ended December 31, 2018.

In the first quarter of fiscal year 2019, the Company instituted a regular quarterly dividend policy whereby it intends to pay a modest regular quarterly dividend in each fiscal quarter and a variable dividend for the fourth fiscal quarter in an amount commensurate with cash expected to be generated from operations in such fiscal year, in each case, after taking into account other potential uses for cash, including acquisitions, investment in our business and repayment of indebtedness. The declaration of each dividend will continue to be at the discretion of the Company’s board. Depreciation Expense During the three months ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded depreciation expense of $24 million, which included a one-time charge of $10 million representing the difference between the net book value of a building and its expected recoverable value.
