In the second quarter of 2016, the level of lump-sum payments under the Company’s non-qualified defined benefit pension plans resulted in the remeasurement of pension obligations under settlement accounting rules. The remeasurement resulted in a loss of $0.8 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2016. The loss includes the effect of a decrease in the discount rate used in the measurement of pension obligations from approximately 4.5% as of December 31, 2015, to approximately 3.7% as of June 30, 2016.

In the second quarter of 2015, the level of lump-sum payments under the Company’s non-qualified defined benefit pension plans and the Employees’ Retirement Plan of Centrus Energy Corp. resulted in a remeasurement gain of $3.9 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The gain included the effect of an increase in the discount rate from approximately 4.1% as of December 31, 2014, to approximately 4.5% as of June 30, 2015.

In the third quarter of 2015, the level of lump-sum payments under the Retirement Program Plan for Employees of United States Enrichment Corporation and the plans mentioned above resulted in a remeasurement loss of $21.6 million included in cost of sales and a loss of $3.2 million included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The discount rate used in the measurement of pension obligations as of September 30, 2015 was approximately 4.4%. The losses also include the effect of actual investment experience for pension plan assets relative to the expected return assumption of 6.75% per year.
