During the three months ended April 1, 2018, the qualified pension plan and certain postretirement healthcare plan assets and obligations were remeasured as a result of a curtailment of benefits related to the planned closure of the Company's motorcycle assembly plant in Kansas City, Missouri, discussed further in Note 4. As a result of the remeasurement, the Company recorded a benefit of $96.4 million before income taxes in other comprehensive income during the three months ended April 1, 2018. There are no required or planned qualified pension plan contributions for 2019. The Company expects it will continue to make ongoing benefit payments under the SERPA and postretirement healthcare plans.
