Retirement and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans |
Note 4 — Retirement and Other Postretirement Benefit Plans We maintain qualified and nonqualified defined benefit retirement plans covering certain current and former U.S. and European employees, retirement savings plans covering eligible U.S. and U.K. employees and certain postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans covering eligible U.S. retirees. We also participate in a union sponsored multi-employer pension plan covering certain U.S. employees with union affiliations. Defined Benefit Retirement Plans Net Periodic Benefit Costs Net periodic benefit costs of our defined benefit retirement plans for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were as follows:
All costs related to our pensions are included as a component of operating income in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. For the three month periods ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, amounts unrelated to service costs were a benefit of $0.5 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Contributions We generally fund our U.S. non-qualified defined benefit retirement plans when benefit payments are incurred. We have contributed approximately $0.1 million in the first three months of 2020 to cover unfunded benefits. We expect to contribute a total of $1.4 million in 2020 to cover unfunded benefits. We contributed $0.2 million to our U.S. non-qualified defined benefit retirement plans during the quarter ended March 31, 2019. We contributed $1.0 million and $1.2 million to our European defined benefit retirement plans during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. We plan to contribute approximately $5.0 million during 2020 to our European plans. Postretirement Health Care and Life Insurance Benefit Plans We recorded $0.2 million and $0.3 million of net amortization gain deferral for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Net periodic benefit costs of our postretirement health care and life insurance benefit plans for the three months ended three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 were immaterial.
Amounts contributed in connection with our postretirement plans were immaterial for both the three months ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2019. We periodically fund our postretirement plans to pay covered expenses as they are incurred. We expect to contribute less than $0.5 million in 2020 to cover unfunded benefits. |
