The Service cost and Amortization of prior service cost components in the tables above are reported among other employee compensation costs in the Consolidated Statements of Income. The remaining components - Interest cost, Expected return on plan assets, Amortization of actuarial loss, Settlement loss (gain) and Curtailment gain - are reported as Other non-operating items, net in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

Settlement accounting has been triggered for the U.S. pension plans in the third quarter of 2022 because the lump-sum payments made during the third quarter exceeded the sum of service cost and interest cost for these U.S. plans. Due to the settlement accounting, the obligation and plan assets for these U.S. plans have been re-measured as of September 30, 2022, which resulted in a higher net pension liability of $2 million compared to June 30, 2022. The discount rate used to determine the U.S. net periodic benefit cost because of the re-measurement was changed from 4.76% in the second quarter to 5.56% in the third quarter. The expected long-term rate of return on plan asset is unchanged at 5.05%.
