(a)The third quarter of 2022 mainly reflects interim actuarial remeasurement gains, primarily driven by an increase in the discount rate, partially offset by unfavorable plan asset performance. The first nine months of 2022 mainly reflects interim actuarial remeasurement losses, primarily driven by unfavorable plan asset performance, partially offset by gains due to an increase in the discount rate. In the third quarter and first nine months of 2021, mainly reflects interim actuarial remeasurement gains, primarily due to favorable plan asset performance and an increase in the discount rate.
The components of net periodic benefit cost/(credit) other than the service cost component are primarily included in Other (income)/deductions––net (see Note 4).
