During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized a deferred tax benefit of $11.1 million ($7.5 million attributable to the controlling interest) from the revaluation of its deferred taxes as a result of a reduction of corporate tax rates in the United Kingdom.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2014, deferred tax liabilities decreased by $16.3 million primarily as a result of the reclassification of $54.5 million of deferred tax liabilities to equity related to the settlement of the 2006 junior convertible securities, offset by the Company's deferred tax provision, $49.6 million (comprised principally of intangible-related deferred taxes).

As of September 30, 2014, the Company carried a liability for uncertain tax positions of $19.4 million, including $1.7 million for interest and related charges. At September 30, 2014, this liability also included $16.8 million for tax positions that, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate.

The Company periodically has tax examinations in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions. Examination outcomes, and any related settlements, are subject to significant uncertainty. The completion of examinations may result in the payment of additional taxes and/or the recognition of tax benefits.
