English term or phrase: discrete

Our tax rate declined in 2008 from 29.7% to 24.9%.
Approximately 3 percentage points of this decline was due to ***discrete*** adjustments to reserves for previously existing uncertain tax positions in the U.S. and other countries.

Wie würdet ihr hier discrete verstehen?

Hi, Andrea, ich verstehe es so aufgrund des "of this decline was due....uncertain tax positions in the U.S..
Anscheinend hat sich der XX Finanzmarkt an die unsichere Lage in den USA angepaßt und somit immer nur reagiert und ist keine gradlinige Strategie gefahren?
Besonders das Wort "uncertain" brachte mich auf diesen Gedanken.

Asker: Hallo Sabina, eine "diskontinuierliche Anpassung/Berichtigung der Rücklagen" - kannst du deine Antwort irgendwie belegen?
