Defined Benefit Plan [Abstract] |
Pension Benefits | Pension Benefits The net periodic expense for our defined pension benefit plans was $5 million and $19 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 and $6 million and $16 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018. Cash contributions to these plans were $6 million and $53 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2019 and $5 million and $46 million for the third quarter and first nine months of 2018. The projected unit credit method is utilized in measuring net periodic pension expense over the employees’ service life for the pension plans. Unrecognized actuarial losses exceeding 10% of the greater of the projected benefit obligation or the market value of assets are amortized straight-line over the average remaining future service periods and expected life expectancy. On May 23, 2018, the Company’s Board of Directors approved the termination of our frozen U.S. defined benefit pension plan (“Plan”). The distribution of plan assets pursuant to the termination will not be made until the plan termination satisfies all regulatory requirements, which is expected to be completed by December 31, 2019. As of December 31, 2018 and March 31, 2018, this Plan had an accumulated comprehensive loss of approximately $115 million and $120 million.
