(a)The year ended December 31, 2019 includes a $2.1 million benefit due to the release of a foreign valuation allowance due to changes in expected profitability. 2018 includes an $8.2 million expense due to the establishment of a valuation allowance due to a foreign restructuring plan and a $1.5 million benefit due to the release of a foreign valuation allowance due to changes in expected profitability.
(b)Our statutory rate is decreased by of our share of the income of JBC, a Free Zones company under the laws of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. The applicable provisions of the Jordanian law, and applicable regulations thereunder, do not have a termination provision and the exemption is indefinite. As a Free Zones company, JBC is not subject to income taxes on the profits of products exported from Jordan, and currently, substantially all of the profits are from exports. This resulted in a rate benefit of 11.9%, 8.0%, and 3.3% for 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
(c)During the year ended December 31, 2018, we recorded an income tax benefit of $42.3 million to refine the impact of the one-time transition tax calculation resulting from the TCJA.
