Other is composed of several items, including foreign currency transaction gains and losses, bad debt expense, equity investment income and losses, litigation and other items. The increase in other for 2016 is primarily due to an unfavorable foreign currency transaction impact of $67, partially offset by lower litigation costs of $30 and a $21 gain on payments received related to dumping duties collected by U.S. Customs from 2006 through 2010, but not distributed to affected domestic producers until resolution of certain legal challenges to the U.S. Continued Dumping and Subsidy Offset Act. The increase in 2015 is primarily due to higher litigation costs of $29 and an unfavorable foreign currency transaction impact of $15, partially offset by a favorable comparative effect from the $34 Artesyn equity investment loss in 2014.
