Postretirement benefit cost components are reclassified in their entirety from accumulated other comprehensive loss to net periodic benefit cost. Service cost is reported in net income as "Cost of sales" or "Selling, general, and administrative expenses" in a manner consistent with the classification of direct labor and personnel costs of the eligible employees. The components of the net periodic benefit cost, other than the service cost component, are classified as a non-operating expense in "Other income (expense), net" on the Consolidated Statements of Income and Comprehensive Income.
