Settlements reflect the recognition of losses that were previously deferred within accumulated other comprehensive loss attributable to plan participants who have received lump sum distributions during the plan year. Recognition of settlements is triggered when the amount paid for lump sum distributions from a plan exceeds the sum of service and interest cost for the plan year. Losses reclassified to settlements for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively, were related to the U.S. plans and were recognized within other expenses/(income)-net on the consolidated statements of earnings.
