(1)The Company has been granted tax incentives for various subsidiaries in China, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam and Israel, which primarily expire at various dates through fiscal year 2031 and are subject to certain conditions with which the Company expects to comply. These tax incentives resulted in a tax benefit of approximately $74 million ($0.56 per basic weighted average shares outstanding), $80 million ($0.57 per basic weighted average shares outstanding) and $51 million ($0.34 per basic weighted average shares outstanding) during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. (2)For the fiscal year ended August 31, 2022, the valuation allowance change was primarily due to an income tax benefit of $26 million for the reversal of a portion of the U.S. valuation allowance and decreased deferred tax assets with corresponding valuation allowances due to the liquidation of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries.
