[2] | Represents transaction gains or losses for currency remeasurement offset by associated hedge gains or losses, which are accounted for discretely in accordance with GAAP. Certain transaction gains or losses for currency remeasurement are not taxable, while offsetting hedge gains or losses are taxable.
[3] | GAAP generally requires subsidiaries for which a full a valuation allowance has been provided to be excluded from the EAETR. For the three months ended March 31, 2017 and March 31, 2016, the other discrete items component of the EAETR reconciliation primarily relates to the discrete accounting for these pretax losses.
[4] | For the three months ended March 31, 2017, tax only discrete items is comprised primarily of the tax effect of changes in valuation allowances of historical deferred tax assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2016, this component was comprised primarily of currency remeasurement associated with foreign statutory operations.
