Postretirement benefit plans

The funded status of our postretirement benefit plans is recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of tax. At December 31, 2025, shareholders' equity amounts related to these postretirement plans decreased by $23.3 million, net of tax, of which $1.1 million primarily represents amortization of net actuarial gain and $22.2 million primarily represents the current period actuarial loss. The 2025 actuarial loss was driven primarily by the lower discount rate used to measure the future benefit obligations, partially offset by higher than expected return on plan assets. Although we are the sponsor of these postretirement plans and record the funded status of these plans, there are reimbursements between us and the Exchange and its insurance subsidiaries for their allocated share of pension income or cost. See Item 8. "Financial Statements and Supplementary Data - Note 10, Postretirement Benefits, of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" contained within this report for additional details on these reimbursements.
