(a)The change in projected benefit obligations in the years ended March 2023 and 2022 were driven by actuarial gains, primarily as a result of changes in discount rates. The change in projected benefit obligations in the year ended March 2023 was also driven by the purchase of an irrevocable group annuity contract relating to approximately $330.0Ìýmillion of the U.S. qualified defined benefit pension plan obligations.
Pension benefits are reported in the Consolidated Balance Sheets as a net asset or liability based on the overfunded or underfunded status of the defined benefit plans, assessed on a plan-by-plan basis.
