Cumulative fiscal 2023 lump sum payouts triggered remeasurement events for certain pension plans in both the first and second quarters of fiscal 2023. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2023, the Company recognized net actuarial losses of $15 million and $23 million, respectively, primarily due to decreases in discount rates, partially offset by favorable plan asset performance.

During the three and six months ended March 31, 2022, the Company recognized net actuarial losses of $59 million and $17 million, respectively, primarily due to unfavorable plan asset performance, partially offset by increases in discount rates.
