Non-service related pension and other postretirement benefit income, for all years, consists primarily of the interest cost, expected return on plan assets and amortization components of net periodic cost.

The Company's Bargaining Unit Pension Plan ("Bargaining Plan"), the Supplemental Pension Plan ("Supplemental Plan") and the recently terminated Retirement Plan ("Salaried Plan") each have a provision that permits employees to elect to receive their pension benefits in a lump sum upon retirement. In the first quarter of 2024, the cumulative cost of all lump sum payments was expected to exceed the sum of the service cost and interest cost components of net periodic pension cost for the Salaried Plan. As a result, the Company completed a full remeasurement of its pension obligations and plan assets associated with the Salaried Plan during the first quarter of 2024 and recorded a loss of $0.8 million.

In the second quarter of 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to purchase a group annuity contract from The Prudential Insurance Company of America (“Prudential”) in connection with the annuitization of the Salaried Plan. The Company remeasured the Salaried Plan upon annuitization on May 15, 2024. A loss of $1.0 million from the remeasurement of the Salaried Plan was recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2024. The loss was primarily due to investment losses on plan assets of $1.8 million partially offset by a decrease in the liability due to an increase in the discount rate of $0.7 million. In addition, the three months ended June 30, 2024 included a $0.1 million gain as a result of the completion of the Salaried Plan annuitization. As of December 31, 2024, the Company has no remaining liabilities or obligations as it relates to the Salaried Plan.

 

 

A net loss of $10.3 million from the remeasurement of all Company pension and postretirement benefit plans was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2024. This loss was driven by investment losses on plan assets of $35.0 million partially offset by a $24.7 million decrease in the pension liability primarily due to an increase in discount rate, updated census data and updates to certain underlying assumptions.

 

A net loss of $40.6 million from the remeasurement of all Company pension and postretirement benefit plans was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2023. This loss was driven by a $36.6 million increase in the pension liability primarily due to a decrease in discount rate, updated census data and updates to certain underlying assumptions, as well as a loss of $4.0 million due to investment losses on plan assets.

 

A net gain of $35.4 million from the remeasurement of all Company pension and postretirement benefit plans was recognized for the year ended December 31, 2022. This gain was driven by a $359.9 million decrease in the pension liability primarily due to an increase in discount rates and a $2.7 million non-cash settlement related to the partial annuitization of the Bargaining Plan. This was partially offset by a loss of $327.2 million driven primarily by investment losses on plan assets and lump sum basis losses.

 

In January 2025, the Company contributed an additional $5.3 million to the Bargaining Plan and expects total pension contributions of approximately $65.0 million in 2025.
