Summary Of Valuation Allowance

The changes to the valuation allowance were primarily due to:

	Year ended September 30,
	2014				2013				2012
	(in millions)
Valuation allowance beginning of year	$	156.5			$	170.4			$	38.6
Net release of valuation allowance (1)	(18.1		)		(44.6		)		—
Establish valuation allowance in the U.S.	—				—				124.5
Net increase/decrease in deferred tax assets for foreign jurisdictions with a full valuation allowance	(5.2		)		1.9				(2.1		)
Establish valuation allowance for acquired businesses	21.5				12.1				—
Establish valuation allowance in foreign jurisdictions	3.5				—				0.6
Adjust deferred tax asset and valuation allowance	19.3				16.7				8.8
Valuation allowance end of year	$	177.5			$	156.5			$	170.4

(1) In 2014 and 2013, this is attributable to recognition of deferred tax liabilities recorded in connection with accounting for acquisitions and in 2013 a reduction in deferred tax assets associated with our U.S. pension plan, both of which are described above.
