Employee Benefit Plans

11 – Employee Benefit Plans

We have defined contribution plans covering certain employees. Contribution expenses related to these plans totaled $20 million, $18 million and $18 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

We have defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans covering certain U.S. and international employees. Plan benefits are generally based on factors such as age, compensation levels and years of service. Net periodic benefit cost related to these plans totaled $3 million, $3 million, and $4 million for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The projected benefit obligations on a consolidated basis were $126 million and $130 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The fair values of plan assets on a consolidated basis were $100 million and $106 million as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The decrease in both the projected benefit obligation and the plans assets year over year is due primarily to benefit obligations paid from plan assets, deferral of actuarial losses to accumulated other comprehensive income, as well as the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar for our non-U.S. plans, As of December 31, 2024, the net underfunded obligation consisted of $17 million of funded obligations recorded to “Other Non-current Assets” and $43 million of underfunded obligations substantially all recorded to “Other Non-current Liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2023, the net underfunded obligation consisted of $18 million of funded obligations recorded to “Other Non-current Assets” and $42 million of underfunded obligations substantially all recorded to “Other Non-current Liabilities” on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Additionally, the consolidated pre-tax amount in accumulated other comprehensive income as of December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, that has not yet been recognized as a component of net periodic benefit cost was a net gain of $6 million and $15 million, respectively. The decrease is due to the the deferral of actuarial losses for 2024, the strengthening of the U.S. Dollar for our non-U.S. plans offset by the recognition of prior actuarial gains in net periodic benefit costs.

The weighted average assumption rates used for benefit obligations were as follows:

	Year Ended December 31,

United States Plans	4.75%	4.75% - 5.00%

During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, we made contributions and paid direct benefits of $4 million, $5 million and $5 million, respectively, in connection with our defined benefit pension and other post-retirement benefit plans. In 2025, we expect to fund approximately $2 million related to those plans.
