[1] The fiscal 2014 effective tax rate for discontinued operations differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to the $53 million of restructuring charges and $175 million impairment of our investment in Best Buy Europe, which generally included no related tax benefit. The deferred tax assets related to the restructuring charges generally resulted in an increase in the valuation allowance in an equal amount, while the investment impairment is not tax deductible.
