Note 10 — Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement plans for certain current and former employees. The service cost component of our pension and other postretirement plans, net of amounts capitalized, is reflected in “Operating and administrative expenses” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. The non-service cost components, net of amounts capitalized by Utilities as a regulatory asset, are reflected in “Other non-operating income (expense), net” on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Other postretirement benefit cost was not material for all periods presented.
