The service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is recorded in cost of goods sold and selling, general and administrative expenses, while non-service cost components are recorded in other income (expense), net in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized a one-time, pre-tax settlement charge of $1.0 million related to the purchase of an annuity contract to transfer the Company's Canadian defined benefit obligations to an insurance company.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recorded a non-cash curtailment expense of $0.2 million, as it transitioned certain active employees previously participating in a defined benefit plan in the United Kingdom to a defined contribution plan, thereby eliminating future service cost accruals for all employees under this defined benefit plan.

The Company contributed $0.3 million and $1.0 million to its defined benefit pension plans during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively. The Company expects to contribute $1.2 million to its defined benefit pension plans for the full year 2023.
