the debt restructurings that occurred during the third quarter of 2012 as well as increased employee related expenses. Partially offsetting these increases was a
decrease resulting from the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements which benefited the growth rate in 2012 compared to 2011 by 1 percentage
point.
Depreciation and amortization. Expenses decreased in 2013 compared to 2012 due to a decrease in the amortization of certain intangible assets that are
being amortized on an accelerated basis resulting in higher amortization in the prior period and certain other assets that have become fully amortized partially
offset by amortization of new assets.
Expenses decreased in 2012 compared to 2011 due to decreases in amortization of certain intangible assets that are being amortized on an accelerated
basis resulting in higher amortization in the prior periods, certain other intangible assets that have been fully amortized and decreases resulting from foreign
currency exchange rate movements. These decreases were partially offset by an increase driven by the benefit recorded in 2011 related to the correction of
cumulative depreciation and amortization errors related to purchase accounting associated with the Company’s 2007 merger with an affiliate of KKR which
totaled a $57.7 million benefit in “Depreciation and amortization .” The error corrections adversely impacted the depreciation and amortization growth rate in
2012 versus 2011 by 5 percentage points.
