(1) During 2020, 2019 and 2018, the valuation allowance was adjusted for acquisitions, divestitures and foreign currency adjustments. The 2018 valuation allowance was also reduced for decreases in fully valued deferred tax assets, primarily United States foreign tax credits utilized to offset the transition tax liability under the provisions of the TCJA and declining net operating loss carryforwards due to improved profitability. The 2019 and 2020 valuation allowance increased due to increases in fully valued deferred tax assets, primarily net operating loss carryforwards.
