We report all components of net periodic pension costs, with the exception of service costs, in other non-operating expenses as a component of non-operating income in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings. Service costs are reported in cost of sales and selling, general and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Statements of Earnings according to the classification of the participant’s compensation.

As a result of the Separation, certain non-U.S. plans were assumed by Vontier on October 9, 2020. These plans had a funded status representing a net obligation of approximately $11.0 million as of September 25, 2020.
Employer Contributions
During 2020, our cash contribution requirements for our non-U.S. and U.S. defined benefit plans for Fortive’s remaining pension plans (excluding contribution requirements with respect to the businesses assumed by Vontier in the Separation) are expected to be approximately $10.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The actual amounts to be contributed depend upon, among other things, legal requirements, underlying asset returns, the plan’s funded status, the anticipated tax deductibility of the contribution, local practices, market conditions, interest rates, and other factors.
