(1) The health care cost trend rate reflects the estimated increase in gross medical claims costs. As a result of the plan amendment adopted effective October 1, 2002, our effective per person retiree medical cost increase is zero percent beginning in 2005 for the majority of our postretirement benefit plans. For our other plans, we assume the gross health care cost trend rate will increase to 14.35% in 2025 and decrease to 4.97% in 2026 for U.S. Plans and will not change in future periods for Non-U.S. Plans.
