1. | The increase in currency translation adjustment losses over prior year for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, is driven by the strengthening USD against primarily the Euro and Brazilian Real. For the year ended December 31, 2015, the increase over prior year is also due to changes in certain foreign entity's functional currency as described in Note 1.
2. | These amounts represent changes in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income excluding changes due to reclassifying amounts to the Consolidated Income Statements.
3. | These accumulated other comprehensive income components are included in the computation of net periodic benefit cost of the company's pension and other long-term employee benefit plans. See Note 18 for additional information.
4. | The unrealized loss on securities during the year ended December 31, 2015 is due to the re-measurement of USD denominated marketable securities held by certain foreign entities at December 31, 2015 with a corresponding offset to cumulative translation adjustment.
