[1] Actuarial losses in the Company's pension benefit plans resulted from changes in discount rate assumptions, primarily for the Company's U.S. plans. Changes in financial markets during 2011 and 2012, including a decrease in corporate bond yield indices, caused a reduction in the discount rates used to measure the benefit obligations in each of those years.
