During the second quarter of fiscal 2021, the amount of cumulative fiscal 2021 lump sum payouts triggered a remeasurement event for certain U.S. pension plans. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized net actuarial gains of $49 million, primarily due to favorable plan asset performance, partially offset by a decrease in discount rates. During the nine months ended June 30, 2021, the Company recognized the net actuarial gains of $252 million, primarily due to an increase in discount rates and favorable plan asset performance.

During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the amount of cumulative fiscal 2020 lump sum payouts triggered a remeasurement event for certain U.S. pension plans resulting in the recognition of net actuarial losses of $157 million, primarily due to a decrease in discount rates.
