(1)Reductions in 2020 valuation allowances are attributable to 2020 income before income taxes. Reductions in 2019 valuation allowances include $7.5 million related to 2019 U.S. income before income taxes, $10.7 related to adjustments for prior period credit carryforwards and uncertain tax positions and $85.6 million related to a change in
beginning-of-the-year balances that resulted from a change in circumstances that caused a change in judgment about the realizability of U.S. deferred tax assets in future years. Reductions in 2018 valuation allowances are attributable to 2018 income before income taxes.
