(A) For the year ended December 31, 2015, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance increased mainly as a result of additional tax losses being generated in foreign jurisdictions. For the year ended December 31, 2014, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased mainly as a result of tax loss carryforwards being utilized. For the year ended December 31, 2013, the deferred tax asset valuation allowance decreased mainly as a result of the release of $599.5 million of the valuation allowance that, due to significant positive evidence, was no longer required.
