INCOME TAXES	NOTE 15. INCOME TAXES During the three months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized income tax benefit of $11.9 million on $177.4 million of loss from continuing operations before income tax, compared to $118.7 million of tax benefit on $207.5 million of loss from continuing operations before income tax during the comparable 2016 period. The tax benefit for the current period is primarily related to the geographic mix of pretax earnings and the discrete tax benefit associated with the International Pharmaceuticals Segment intangible asset impairment. The tax benefit for the comparable 2016 period was primarily related to the geographic mix of pretax earnings and the discrete tax benefit associated with the U.S. Generic Pharmaceuticals business impairment. As further discussed in Note 2.

The eliminations of these deferred charges were recorded as adjustments to retained earnings as of January 1, 2017. On adoption, the Company also recorded net deferred tax assets, primarily related to certain intangibles and tax deductible goodwill, of $479.7 million, fully offset by a corresponding valuation allowance.
