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.
