Consistent with its overall strategy of pursuing international investment opportunities, TSYS adopted the permanent reinvestment exception under ASC 740, “Income Taxes,” with respect to future earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries. Its decision to permanently reinvest foreign earnings offshore means TSYS will no longer allocate taxes to foreign currency translation adjustments associated with these foreign subsidiaries accumulated in other comprehensive income.
