Repоrting PPE Trаnsаctiоns аnd Asset Impairment Nоte B from the fiscal 2018 10-K report of Williams-Sonoma, Inc., (February 3, 2019) follows.

Note B: Property and Equipment Property and equipment consists of the following: ($ thousands) Feb. 3, 2019 Jan. 28, 2018 Leasehold improvements $950,259 $950,024 Fixtures and equipment 836,400 800,003 Capitalized software 733,941 621,730 Land and buildings 175,181 173,457 Corporate systems projects in progress 39,416 65,283 Construction in progress 7,205 8,615 Total 2,742,402 2,619,112 Accumulated depreciation and amortization (1,812,767) (1,686,829) Property and equipment—net $929,635 $932,283 We review the carrying value of all long-lived assets for impairment, primarily at a store level, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. We review for impairment all stores for which current or projected cash flows from operations are not sufficient to recover the carrying value of the assets. Impairment results when the carrying value of the assets exceeds the estimated undiscounted future cash flows over the remaining useful life. Our estimate of undiscounted future cash flows over the store lease term is based upon our experience, historical operations of the stores, and estimates of future store profitability and economic conditions. The future estimates of store profitability and economic conditions require estimating such factors as sales growth, gross margin, employment rates, lease escala- tions, inflation on operating expenses, and the overall economics of the retail industry, and they are therefore subject to variability and difficult to predict. If a long-lived asset is found to be impaired, the amount recognized for impairment is equal to the difference between the net carrying value and the asset’s fair value.
