(1) During 2018, we completed an intra-entity transfer from Australia to the U.S. of certain intangible property (“IP”) rights associated with a subsidiary’s technology platform. This transfer resulted in an income tax expense for Australian tax purposes of approximately $10 million. As a result of the IP transfer, we utilized NOLs and consequently released the valuation allowance on our Australian entity. During 2019, we completed an intra-entity transfer from China to Singapore of certain IP. As a result of the transfer, we utilized NOLs and consequently released the valuation allowance on certain deferred tax assets on our China entity.
