In the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a curtailment gain to recognize prior service credits that were previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in connection with the closure of a non-U.S. defined benefit pension plan. Additionally, the Company may incur future settlement charges in 2019 related to the payment of lump sum buy-outs to settle certain pension obligations using plan assets.

The components of net periodic cost / (benefit) other than the service cost component are included in other pension and postretirement in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
