1.The cumulative translation adjustment losses for the year ended December 31, 2020 was primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar ("USD") against the Brazilian Real ("BRL"), partially offset by the weakening of the U.S. Dollar against the Swiss franc ("CHF") and European Euro ("EUR"). The cumulative translation adjustment losses for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 were primarily driven by the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar against the Brazilian Real and European Euro. 2.The unrealized loss on securities during the year ended December 31, 2020 is due to the remeasurement of USD denominated marketable securities held by certain foreign entities at December 31, 2020 with a corresponding offset to cumulative translation adjustment.
