The depreciation expense related to property and equipment was $19.6 million, $22.2 million and $22.8 million for fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Our property and equipment declined $7.0 million ($3.0 million of which was land and buildings) due to the divestitures of our non-core utility field services operations in the CIG reportable segment and certain non-core assets in the third quarter of fiscal 2018.
