We record the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) in the same line item as other employee compensation costs and the non-service components of net periodic benefit cost (benefit) such as interest cost, expected return on assets, amortization of prior service cost, and actuarial gains or losses are reported within other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. We did not contribute to our U.S. Defined Benefit Plans or U.S. Post-Retirement Benefit Plan during the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019. We contributed $2 million and $8 million to our Non-U.S. Defined Benefit Plans during the three months ended January 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the remainder of 2020, we do not expect to contribute to our U.S. Defined Benefit Plans, and we expect to contribute $6 million to our Non-U.S. Defined Benefit Plans. On January 1, 2019, we transferred a portion of the assets and liabilities of our Switzerland defined benefit plan to an insurance company, resulting in the recognition of a settlement loss of $2 million, which is included in other income (expense), net in the condensed consolidated statement of operations.
