6.      Retirement Plans

The components of our net periodic pension benefit are included in miscellaneous income in our income statement. During the three-months ended March 31, 2020, the amount recorded as a benefit was not material, and we did not make a contribution to our defined benefit pension plan. During the remainder of 2020, we expect to contribute $3 million to this plan.

During the three-months ended March 31, 2020, we contributed $4 million in matching cash contributions, and shares of our common stock valued at approximately $4 million for our 2019 discretionary profit-sharing contributions, to the 401(k) plan. The discretionary profit-sharing contribution was recorded as an expense in 2019 and accrued as of December 31, 2019. During the remainder of 2020, we expect to contribute approximately $13 million of matching cash contributions to this plan.
