23.  Other Income (Expense), Net

Other income (expense), net was $4.4 million of income in 2012, $2.8 million of income in 2013 and $53.7 million of expense in 2014. In 2014, a $46.3 million foreign currency charge was taken by the Company related to the impact of the devaluation of the Venezuelan currency on monetary assets and liabilities of its Venezuela entity and a charge of $7.4 million was recorded related to the prepayment of debt during the fourth quarter of 2014.  Foreign currency translation expenses related to the strengthening of the U.S. dollar were offset by tax incentives related to the Company's new China headquarters.  Other income (expense), net also includes $5.2 million, $3.0 million and $5.7 million in interest expense during 2012, 2013 and 2014, respectively. The Company cannot estimate the degree to which its operations will be impacted in the future, but it remains subject to these currency risks. However, the majority of these transaction losses are non-cash, non-operating losses.
