(1)Other decreases and increases in valuation allowances are primarily related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and prior year acquisitions.
(2)Prior to 2023, certain of our non-United States tax loss carryforwards were determined to have a remote possibility of realization and therefore were not reported in the table above. In connection with the implementation of the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (the "OECD") global minimum tax initiative known as Pillar Two, any existing deferred taxes not disclosed in our 2023 financial statements will not be available in the future to reduce tax otherwise due under Pillar Two. Accordingly, beginning in 2023, we are disclosing in the above table the tax effects of these non-United States tax loss carryforwards offset with a full valuation allowance.
