Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Employee Benefits Plans | EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS Certain of our U.S. employees are covered under various U.S. GE employee benefit plans, including GE's retirement plans (pension, retiree health and life insurance, and savings benefit plans). In addition, certain United Kingdom (UK) employees participate in the GE UK Pension Plan. We are allocated relevant participation costs for these GE employee benefit plans as part of multi-employer plans. As such, we have not recorded any liabilities associated with our participation in these plans. Expenses associated with our participation in these plans was $43 million and $45 million in the three months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, and $80 million and $71 million in the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. In addition to these GE plans, certain of our employees are also covered by company sponsored employee defined benefit plans. These defined benefit plans include seven U.S. plans and six non-U.S. plans, primarily in the UK, Germany, and Canada, all with plan assets or obligations greater than $20 million. We use a December 31 measurement date for these plans. These defined benefit plans generally provide benefits to employees based on formulas recognizing length of service and earnings. The components of net periodic cost (benefit) of plans sponsored by us are as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30,
| 2018 | 2017 | 2018 | 2017
Service cost | $ | 5 |  | $ | 5 |  | $ | 10 |  | $ | 8 |
Interest cost | 18 |  | 7 |  | 36 |  | 14 |
Expected return on plan assets | (30 | ) | (10 | ) | (60 | ) | (20 | )
Amortization of net actuarial loss | 2 |  | 2 |  | 4 |  | 5 |
Net periodic cost (benefit) | $ | (5 | ) | $ | 4 |  | $ | (10 | ) | $ | 7 |
The service cost component of the net periodic cost (benefit) is included in operating income (loss) and all other components are included in non operating income (loss) in our condensed consolidated and combined statements of income (loss).
