Before we began forming non-U.S. operating companies during 2010, the revenue from non-U.S. users was
earned by our U.S. Company, resulting in virtually no foreign profit before tax. The new foreign entities, as start-
up companies, generated operating losses in 2010 and 2011. During 2012, we completed the implementation of
our international structure, which resulted in a significant loss outside of the U.S. During 2010, 2011, and 2012,
the net tax impact of the losses generated in tax jurisdictions with lower statutory rates than the U.S. rate
increased tax expense and the effective tax rate.
