PENSION PLANS

NOTE 12. PENSION PLANS

Certain employees participate in noncontributory defined benefit pension plans. In general, our policy is to fund these plans based on considerations relating to legal requirements, underlying asset returns, the plan’s funded status, the anticipated deductibility of the contribution, local practices, market conditions, interest rates, and other factors. Our U.S. pension plans are frozen, and as such, there are no ongoing benefit accruals associated with the U.S. pension plans. The following describes our significant pension plans as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The following sets forth the funded status of our plans and amounts recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of the most recent actuarial valuations using measurement dates of December 31 ($ in millions):

Components of net periodic pension cost

The following sets forth the components of net periodic pension cost for our plans for the years ended December 31 ($ in millions):

	U.S. Pension Benefits						Non-U.S. Pension Benefits
	2022		2021		2020		2022		2021		2020
Service cost	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	3.5	$	4.1	$	4.4

Weighted average assumptions used to determine net periodic pension cost at date of measurement

	U.S. Pension Plans						Non-U.S. Pension Plans
	2022		2021		2020		2022		2021		2020
Discount rate	2.82	%	2.65	%	3.26	%	1.31	%	0.99	%	1.38	%
Expected return on plan assets	5.20	%	4.32	%	4.86	%	2.58	%	2.34	%	2.82	%
Rate of compensation increase	N/A		N/A		N/A		2.43	%	2.36	%	2.44	%

The discount rates reflect the market rate on December 31 for high-quality fixed-income investments with maturities corresponding to our benefit obligations and are subject to change each year. For non-U.S. plans, rates appropriate for each plan are determined based on investment grade instruments with maturities approximately equal to the average expected benefit payout under the plan.

The expected rates of return reflect the asset allocation of the plans and ranged from 1.25% to 5.20% in 2022, 1.25% to 4.32% in 2021, and 1.25% to 4.86% in 2020. The domestic plan rate is based primarily on broad publicly-traded-equity and fixed-income indices and forward-looking estimates of active portfolio and investment management. The expected rates of return on asset assumptions for the non-U.S. plans were determined on a plan-by-plan basis based on the composition of assets.

We report all components of net periodic pension costs, with the exception of service costs, in Other non-operating expenses, net in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings for all periods presented. Service costs are reported in Cost of sales and Selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings according to the classification of the participant’s compensation.

Plan Assets

Plan assets are invested in various insurance contracts and equity and debt securities as determined by the administrator of each plan. Some of these investments, consisting of mutual funds and other private investments, are valued using the net asset value (“NAV”) method as a practical expedient. The investments valued using the NAV method are allocated across a broad array of funds and diversify the portfolio. The value of the plan assets directly affects the funded status of our pension plans recorded in the financial statements.

The fair values of our pension plan assets as of December 31, 2022, by asset category were as follows ($ in millions): 

	Quoted Prices in Active Market (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
Cash and equivalents	$	5.7	$	—	$	—	$	5.7
Mutual funds	—		18.4		—		18.4
Insurance contracts	—		19.9		—		19.9
Total	$	5.7	$	38.3	$	—	$	44.0
Investments measured at NAV(a):
Mutual funds							98.6
Other private investments							46.0
Total assets at fair value							$	188.6
(a) The fair value amounts presented in the table above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total fair value of plan assets.

The fair values of our pension plan assets as of December 31, 2021, by asset category were as follows ($ in millions):

	Quoted Prices in Active Market (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total
Cash and equivalents	$	3.7	$	—	$	—	$	3.7
Mutual funds	—		32.6		—		32.6
Insurance contracts	—		31.7		—		31.7
Total	$	3.7	$	64.3	$	—	$	68.0
Investments measured at NAV(a):
Mutual funds							125.6
Real estate funds							18.7
Other private investments							42.7
Total assets at fair value							$	255.0
(a) The fair value amounts presented in the table above are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the total fair value of plan assets.

Certain mutual funds are valued at the quoted closing price reported on the active market on which the individual securities are traded. Common stock, corporate bonds, and mutual funds that are not traded on an active market are valued at quoted prices reported by investment brokers and dealers based on the underlying terms of the security and comparison to similar securities traded on an active market.

Certain mutual funds, real estate funds, and other private investments are valued using NAV based on the information provided by the asset fund managers, which reflects the plan’s share of the fair value of the net assets of the investment.

Expected Contributions

During 2022, we contributed $2 million and $11 million to our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans, respectively. During 2023, our cash contribution requirements for our U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans are expected to be approximately $1 million and $11 million, respectively.

The following sets forth benefit payments to participants, which reflect expected future service, as appropriate, expected to be paid by the plans in the periods indicated ($ in millions):

	U.S. Pension Plans		Non-U.S. Pension Plans		All Pension Plans
2023	$	2.4	$	12.3	$	14.7
2024	2.4		10.1		12.5
2025	2.5		9.8		12.3
2026	2.5		9.9		12.4
2027	2.6		10.1		12.7
2028-2032	12.5		50.4		62.9

Defined Contribution Plans

We administer and maintain 401(k) programs and contributions to the 401(k) programs are determined based on a percentage of compensation. We recognized compensation expense for our participating U.S. employees in the 401(k) programs totaling $60 million in 2022, $57 million in 2021, and $51 million in 2020.
