Discontinued Operations

Discontinued Operations

Certain of our subsidiaries previously operated in the European Union ("EU"). Though operations ceased in 2009, statutory requirements require a continued presence in the EU for varying terms until November 2015. Profits and losses generated from the remaining assets and liabilities are accounted for as discontinued operations.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded net income of $32,065 and $37,632, respectively, largely due to adjustment of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier and translation adjustments. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded net income from discontinued operations of $23,065 and $66,959, respectively, which came primarily from an adjustment of certain accrued liabilities originating in 2009 and earlier.
