The figure rose sharply from $52 million in 2017 to $444 million in 2018, then declined to a negative $560 million in 2019, indicating a significant charge or adjustment. Subsequently, it recovered to positive $171 million in 2020 and surged to $1,345 million in 2021, suggesting favorable actuarial gains or changes in plan assumptions in the latter years.
Cash Flow Hedging Instruments
