(1)Our estimate of the liability for the present value of current workers′ compensation benefits is based on our actuarial calculations.  Our actuarial calculations are based on a blend of actuarial projection methods and numerous assumptions including claims development patterns, mortality, medical costs and interest rates.  The valuation loss in 2025 is due to a decrease in the discount rate from 5.17% on December 31, 2024 to 4.92% on June 30, 2025. The valuation gain in 2024 is due to an increase in the discount rate from 4.66% on December 31, 2023 to 5.18% on June 30, 2024.
