(a) 
Deductions include accounts written off, net of recoveries, and the effects of foreign currency translation.
(b) 
Additions relate to circumstances where it is more likely than not that deferred income tax assets will not be realized and the effects of foreign currency translation. As a result of the Separation in 2019, a $24.5 million decrease in valuation allowances was recorded within "former parent investment" in the financial statements, since the corresponding tax attributes reported by the Company on a carve-out basis were not transferred to the Company, as discussed in Note 1 to the Company's financial statements.
