Interest expense decreased slightly in 2013 compared to 2012 due to the de-designation of cash flow hedges. which resulted in the
reclassification of S115 million of accumulated losses from other comprehensive income (OCI) into interest expense during 2012. This was
substantially offset by increased interest expense related to higher interest rates resulting from debt modifications and amendments. As of
December 31, 2014 and 2013. there were no amounts carried in OC1 related to interest rate swaps. Refer to Note 5 "Derivative Financial
Instruments" to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for additional information.

million. The net investment losses in 2012 relate to the impairment of a strategic investment.

The effective tax rates in each year differ from the statutory rates as a result of recognizing tax expense in jurisdictions with pretax
income while being precluded from recognizing deferred tax benefits on pre-tax losses in the U.S. and certain foreign jurisdictions that are subject
to valuation allowances. In each year. the negative impact from the valuation allowance was partially offset by us not having to record tax expense
attributable to the noneontrolling interest portion of pretax income from pass through entities,
Following the recognition of significant valuation allowances in 2012, we have regularly experienced substantial volatility in our
effective tax rate in interim periods and across years. This is due to deferred income
