PPE is a common abbreviation found on financial statements that stands for property, plant and equipment.

Investopedia Commentary

This item is listed separately in most financial statements because PP&E is treated differently in accounting statements since improvements, replacements and betterments can pose problems depending on how the costs are recorded.
