The gain from currency translation adjustments in the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $71.0 million was primarily due to the strengthening of the British Pound and the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar. The loss from currency translation adjustments in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $37.9 million was due to the weakening of the British Pound against the U.S. Dollar, partially offset by the strengthening of the Canadian Dollar against the U.S. Dollar.
