Valuation Allowance Deferred Tax Asset Explanation of Change The 2012 increase in the valuation allowance was primarily due to decreased earnings in France and Luxembourg, partially offset by a decrease in the valuation allowance related to purchase accounting for various acquisitions and audit settlements for various countries. The 2011 decrease in the valuation allowance was primarily due to decreased foreign net operating losses related to the Netherlands and Germany, partially offset by the increase in the valuation allowance of France, Luxembourg and Canada. The 2010 increase in the valuation allowance was primarily due to increased foreign net operating losses related to France, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands offset by the reversal of a valuation allowance related to Germany. The 2010 increase in valuation allowance also includes adjustments related to purchase accounting for various acquisitions.
