(1)

During 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Company recorded valuation allowances on deferred tax assets attributable to net operating losses in certain foreign jurisdictions. In addition, during 2016, 2017 and 2018 the Company recorded a valuation allowance of $61.5 million, $387.7 million and $61.5 million, respectively, on a portion of its deferred tax assets attributable to federal and state net operating loss carryforwards due to the uncertainty of the ability to utilize those losses in future periods.

(2)

During 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Company realized the tax benefits associated with certain foreign deferred tax assets, primarily related to foreign loss carryforwards, on which a valuation allowance was previously recorded. The associated valuation allowance was reversed in the period in which, based on the weight of available evidence, it is more-likely-than-not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. During 2016, the Company released valuation allowances in France in the amount of $43.3 million.

(3)

During 2016, 2017 and 2018, the Company adjusted certain valuation allowances as a result of changes in tax rates in certain jurisdictions, as a result of the expiration of carryforward periods for net operating loss carryforwards, and as a result of foreign exchange rate movements. During 2017, the Company adjusted the carrying value of its U.S. federal deferred tax balance due to the U.S. federal tax reform bill that was enacted in 2017. The tax bill reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate to 21% and resulted in a reduction to the valuation allowance balance of $336.3 million during the period.
