Components of net periodic benefit cost other than service cost are presented outside of operating income on the Companies' consolidated income statements, and only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization. Accordingly, the service cost component is included in the line "Other operations and maintenance" and the non-service cost components are included in the lines "Investment and other income" and "Other deductions" in the Companies' consolidated income statements. The increase in the "Pension and retiree benefits" asset on the Companies' consolidated balance sheets from December 31, 2021 to June 30, 2022 is primarily due to favorable plan liability experience. Expected Contributions Based on estimates as of June 30, 2022, the Companies expect to make contributions to the pension plans during 2022 of $31 million (of which $18 million is to be made by CECONY). The Companies’ policy is to fund the total periodic benefit cost of the qualified plan to the extent tax deductible and to also contribute to the non-qualified supplemental plans. During the first six months of 2022, the Companies contributed $10 million to the pension plans, $9 million of which was contributed by CECONY.
