During the three months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized net actuarial gains of $6 million, primarily due to increases in discount rates, partially offset by unfavorable asset performance. During the nine months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized net actuarial losses of $17 million, primarily due to net decreases in discount rates, partially offset by net favorable plan asset performance.
