(1) | The increase in allowance for uncollectible accounts primarily reflects charges associated with the provision for uncertain collection of a portion of our existing trade receivables related to our Robotics segment.
(2) | The decrease in allowance for uncollectible accounts reflects the write-offs of trade receivables that are either settled or deemed uncollectible.
(3) | The decrease in valuation allowance primarily reflects a $20.6 million reduction related to the loss of deferred tax assets for net operating losses within our Australian subsidiaries.
(4) | The increase in valuation allowance primarily reflects additional net operating losses in Brazil and in our Robotics segment in the U.K. for which insufficient future taxable income exists to offset the losses.
(5) | The addition of a deferred tax asset valuation allowance reflects management’s view that we will not be able to fully realize our foreign tax credits available from 2015 within the carryforward period.
