During 2020, the Company announced it was freezing its United States pension plans for its non-union employees. The freeze was effective January 1, 2021 for non-union U.S. employees whose retirement benefit was determined under a cash balance formula and is effective January 1, 2026 for non-union U.S. employees whose retirement benefit is determined under a final average pay formula.
During the first quarter of 2022, the Company recognized settlement losses from lump-sum distributions of $14 million, and remeasured certain pension plans as a result of lump-sum distributions exceeding or expected to exceed the sum of service and interest costs for the year. These remeasurements resulted in increases of $32 million in pension assets, decreases of $15 million in pension liabilities, and decreases of $47 million in other comprehensive loss.
The components of retirement benefits expense (income) other than service costs are included in Other income - net.
