In the first nine months of 2023, Frontier amended the medical coverage for certain postretirement benefit plans, which resulted in an $38 million net remeasurement gain. The net gain was comprised of a loss of $20 million in the first quarter, offset by a remeasurement gain of $12 million in the second quarter, and a gain of $46 million in the third quarter, primarily due to discount rate changes.

Pension and OPEB benefit (cost) consist of interest income (costs), expected return on plan assets, amortization of prior service (costs) and recognition of actuarial (gain) loss. Service cost components of pension and OPEB benefit costs are included in “Selling, general, and administrative expenses” on our consolidated statements of income.
