​ The components of net periodic pension and OPEB costs excluding the service cost component are included in the line item “Other operating expenses” in the statement of consolidated income. In the first quarter of 2020, the Company remeasured the U.S. salary OPEB health care plans due to the U.S. voluntary employee-separation program (see Note 20), which resulted in a $21 million curtailment loss. During the first three months of 2021, the Company contributed approximately $42 million to its pension plans and $57 million to its OPEB plans. The Company presently anticipates contributing an additional $58 million to its pension plans and $789 million to its OPEB plans during the remainder of fiscal year 2021. The anticipated OPEB contributions include a voluntary $700 million in the fourth quarter to a U.S. plan, which will increase plan assets. These pension and remaining OPEB contributions primarily include direct benefit payments from Company funds. ​
