[1] The quarterly earnings per share information is computed separately for each period. Therefore, the sum of such quarterly per share amounts may differ from the total for the year.
[2] Variations in income from continuing operations among quarters in 2014 and 2013 are primarily the result of (i) the effect of changes in foreign exchange rates between the Canadian dollar and the U.S. dollar on our equity in net income (loss) of Telesat and (ii) the limitation on recording our portion of Telesat’s net income or loss due to the reduction of the carrying amount of our investment in Telesat to zero as a result of the excess of cash dividends received from Telesat in 2012. Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates for the quarter ended December 31, 2014 included an impairment charge to reduce our investment in XTAR to its fair value. Equity in net income (loss) of affiliates for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 included expense related to refinancing.
[3] Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax, for the quarters ended September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2014 includes the effects of the settlement of the ViaSat Suit and the allocation of the settlement between Loral and MDA, parent of SS/L (see Note 15).
[4] Reference to the year ended December 31, 2012 in the table above is for the period January 1, 2012 to November 2, 2012, the date of the Sale.
