Non-Controlling Equity Interest:
On November 1, 2022, we purchased the non-controlling equity interest (“NCI”) of our China operations from a third-party entity for RMB 815.4 million, of which RMB 169.1 million, or $23.2 million was paid in November 2022 and a liability of $93.7 million was recognized for the remaining liability as of December 31, 2022. During 2023 we settled the liability with total payments of $95.7 million. We recognized a foreign exchange loss of $2.6 million associated with the payments for the year ended December 31, 2023. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction among shareholders, and accordingly, no gain or loss was recognized in consolidated net income or comprehensive income.

(1)Changes in year-over-year non-operating pension income was primarily attributable to higher interest costs in the current year period, primarily driven by the fluctuation in discount rates.
(2)For the year ended December 31, 2022, debt redemption premium was related to the early redemption of then-existing 6.875% Senior Secured Notes in January 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2021, debt redemption premium was related to the repayment of then-existing 10.250% Senior Unsecured Notes.
(3)The change in Miscellaneous Other Income - net was primarily driven by fees incurred for the accounts receivable securitization facility, including fees for administrative responsibilities. See Note 7 for further discussion.
