Pension Contributions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we contributed $77.4 million to our pension plans. During the fourth quarter of 2012, we expect to contribute approximately $3.1 million to our pension plans.

Savings Plans

Employees who do not actively participate in pension plans and are not covered by union-administered plans are generally eligible to participate in enhanced savings plans. Plans provide for (i) a company contribution even if employees do not make contributions, (ii) a company match of employee contributions of eligible pay, subject to tax limits and (iii) a discretionary company match. During the three months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized total savings plan costs of $7.6 million and $9.6 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011, we recognized total savings plan costs of $23.7 million and $30.1 million, respectively.
