During the nine months ended October 2, 2016 and October 4, 2015, the Company contributed $7.6 million and $6.5 million, respectively, in the aggregate, to pension plans outside of the United States. During the nine months ended October 2, 2016, the Company did not make contributions to its defined benefit pension plan in the United States. During the nine months ended October 4, 2015, the Company contributed $20.0 million to its defined benefit pension plan in the United States.
The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses, unless an interim remeasurement is required, in operating results in the fourth quarter of the year in which the gains and losses occur, in accordance with the Company's accounting method for defined benefit pension plans and other postretirement benefits as described in Note 1 of the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes included in its 2015 Form 10-K. Such adjustments for gains and losses are primarily driven by events and circumstances beyond the Company's control, including changes in interest rates, the performance of the financial markets and mortality assumptions.
