The change in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2019 is primarily due to the effect of foreign currency translation on a valuation allowance related to a net operating loss carryforward. The change in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2018 was primarily due to the write-off of a valuation allowance to Retained Earnings for the tax effect related to intra-entity transfers. The change in the valuation allowance during the year ended December 31, 2017 was primarily due to the effect of foreign currency translation on a valuation allowance related to a net operating loss carryforward.
