Defined Benefit Pension and Nonpension Post-
Retirement Benefit Plan Financial Information
The following represents financial information for the company’s
significant retirement-related benefit plans. The significant defined
benefit pension plans consist of the qualified portion of the PPP in the
U.S. and material non-U.S. pension plans, including plans in Germany,
the United Kingdom, Japan, the Netherlands, Canada, Switzerland
and Spain. In 2006, certain non-U.S. pension plans were no longer
considered material and, accordingly, prior-year amounts presented
have been reclassified to conform with current-year presentation. The
significant nonpension postretirement benefit plans represents the
U.S. nonpension postretirement benefit plan.
The following table presents the components of net periodic pen-
sion cost/(income) and net periodic postretirement benefit cost/
(income) of the significant retirement-related benefit plans recog-
nized in the Consolidated Statement of Earnings:
