Net periodic benefit cost, excluding the service cost component, was recorded in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income in Other, net. We contributed $1 million and $3 million to our pension plans for the three months ended December 28, 2019 and December 29, 2018, respectively. The amount of contributions made to pension plans in any year is dependent upon a number of factors, including minimum funding requirements in the jurisdictions in which we operate.
