Service cost is recorded in the same income statement line items as other employee compensation costs arising from services rendered, and the other components of net periodic benefit expense are recorded in "Pension expense (excluding service costs)" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we contributed $0.7 million in cash to the pension plans. For the remainder of 2020, we expect to make approximately $1.0 million in cash contributions to the pension plans.
