Due to our history of net operating losses, we believe it is more likely than not that certain federal, state, and foreign deferred tax assets will not be realized
as of December 31, 2015. The valuation allowance as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 was $151.8 million and $127.9 million, respectively. The
increase in valuation allowance for 2015 is primarily related to net operating losses generated and acquired during the current year.
Net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards as of December 31, 2015 are as follows (in thousands):
Amount Expiration years
Net operating losses, federal $ 372,373 2027 - 2035
Net operating losses, state 340,888 2017 - 2035
Tax credit, federal 82,111 2030 - 2035
Tax credits, state 72,615 2019 - indefinite
Net operating losses, foreign 44,398 2033 - indefinite
Tax credits, foreign 443 indefinite
Excess tax benefits associated with stock option exercises and other equity awards are credited to stockholders’ equity in the period cash taxes payable is
reduced. As of December 31, 2015, the portion of net operating loss carryforwards related to stock awards is $472.3 million, the benefit of which will be credited to
additional paid-in capital when realized. The federal and state net operating loss carryforwards are subject to various annual limitations under Section 382 of the
Internal Revenue Code and similar state provisions.
