During the nine months ended October 3, 2021 and October 4, 2020, the Company contributed $5.5 million and $5.2 million, respectively, in the aggregate, to pension plans outside of the United States. During the nine months ended October 3, 2021, the Company contributed $20.0 million to its defined benefit pension plan in the United States for the plan year 2019.
The Company recognizes actuarial gains and losses, unless an interim remeasurement is required, 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 2020 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. Service costs for plans in active accrual are included in operating expenses.
