~~During~~Emerging ~~the~~growth third quarter of 2020, Washington Gas Light Company (the “Company”) made a voluntary change in accounting principle for calculating the market-related value of assets (MRVA) used in the determination of net periodic pension and other post-retirement benefit plan costs. The change uses the fair value approach for the fixed income investments and related derivatives, which represent a separate asset class of the plan assets, compared to the prior method that utilized a calculated value for all investments where gains and losses arising from changes in fair value were deferred and amortized into the calculation of the MRVA over a period of five years. The MRVA is used in the calculation of the expected return on assets and the recognized actuarial gain or loss components of net periodic benefit cost. The gains and losses for other plan assets will continue to be deferred and amortized into the MRVA over a five-year period. This change has been applied on a retrospective basis. company ☐
