During the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2018, the Company converted intercompany loans with a foreign subsidiary to equity, which resulted in deductible tax losses. The loans had been historically treated as a component of the Company’s investment in that subsidiary, and as a result, foreign currency gains and losses on the loans had been accumulated as a component of other comprehensive (loss) income. The tax benefits of $1.3 million and $5.0 million, respectively, which were triggered by the conversions were therefore allocated to other comprehensive loss rather than net income.

The amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into the consolidated statement of operations, with presentation location, during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 were as follows (in thousands):
