2023.

After considering the most recent group annuity contract purchase, the company has successfully reduced its global defined benefit pension obligations since December 2020 by approximately $2.2 billion, including approximately $1.5 billion in the U.S. 

The company will continue to evaluate opportunities for additional reduction of its global defined benefit pension obligations in future periods depending on overall market conditions. Due to the company’s significant pension and postretirement plans accumulated other comprehensive losses, future group annuity contract purchases could result in material non-cash settlement losses.

At the end of each year, the company estimates its future cash contributions to its global defined benefit pension plans based on year-end pension data, assumptions and agreements. In 2024, the company made cash contributions of $21.9 million, primarily for its international defined benefit pension plans. Based on current legislation, global regulations, recent interest rates and expected returns, the company estimates future cash contributions of approximately $92 million in 2025, primarily for its U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The company estimates totaled cash contributions to its U.S. and non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans of approximately $120 million in 2026 and approximately $750 million in the aggregate from 2027 through 2034. If the company is not able to generate sufficient cash flows from operations, it may need to obtain additional funding in order to make these contributions. Any material deterioration in the value of the company’s global defined benefit pension plan assets, as well as changes in pension legislation, volatility in the capital markets, discount rate changes, asset return changes, or changes in economic or demographic trends, could require the company to make cash contributions in different amounts and on a different schedule than previously estimated.

At December 31, 2024, total debt was $493.2 million compared with $504.2 million at December 31, 2023. See Note 15, “Debt,” of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for more detailed discussion of the company’s debt financing agreements including maturities by fiscal year.

The company has commitments under operating leases for certain facilities and equipment used in its operations. As of December 31, 2024, the company’s operating lease liabilities were $43.9 million. The company also has a number of finance leases for equipment, with lease liabilities totaling $2.8 million as of December 31, 2024. See Note 5, “Leases and commitments,” of the Notes to
