Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans Defined Contribution Plans Eligible employees participate in our defined contribution plans. Our 401(k) plan and supplemental plan provide for a matching contribution of a U.S. employee’s contributions and accruals, subject to predetermined limits. Halyard also has defined contribution pension plans for certain employees outside the U.S. in which eligible employees may participate. We recognized $7 million of expense for our matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our matching contributions to the 401(k) plan are recognized in cost of products sold, research and development and selling and general expenses in our consolidated income statements. Defined Benefit Plans Certain plans in our international operations are our direct obligation, and therefore, the related funded status has been recorded within our consolidated balance sheet. These plans are primarily unfunded and the aggregated projected benefit obligation was $3 million and $2 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Net periodic pension cost for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 was $1 million. Over the next ten years, we expect gross benefit payments to be $1 million in total for the years 2018 through 2022, and $1 million in total for the years 2023 through 2027.
