(A)The reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to interest expense was related to terminated interest rate contracts. The current period charge in 2020 was related to losses on the interest rate contracts entered into in November 2018 and June 2018 that were terminated in 2020. For additional information, see Note 10: Derivative Financial Instruments.
(B)The reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) to other income (expense) – net is composed of settlement charges and amortization of net losses and prior service costs. The reclassification adjustments in 2021 primarily include the impact of the nonrecurring settlement charge related to the purchase of a group annuity contract to transfer our Canadian defined benefit pension plan obligations to an insurance company.
