The components of net periodic benefit cost (credit) other than the service cost component are included in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income.

In June 2024, the Company completed a pension risk transfer to a third-party insurance company of a portion of its salaried defined benefit pension plan's obligations for certain participants and their beneficiaries. The Company agreed to an annuity contract that was purchased using pension plan assets, resulting in the transfer of $30 million of pension plan assets and $30 million of pension plan benefit obligations to the insurance company. As a result of this transaction, in the second quarter of 2024, the Company recognized a non-recurring, non-cash $4 million settlement charge for a pro rata portion of previously unrecognized pension plan actuarial net losses, which was recorded in Other income (expense), net in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
