Benefit Plans

We assumed a defined benefit pension plan (the “Pension Plan”) on April 29, 2022 as a result of the acquisition of S&N. The Pension Plan was frozen to new hires as of March 31, 2007 and employees hired on or after April 1, 2007 are not eligible to participate in the Pension Plan. On July 1, 2022, the Pension Plan was amended to freeze benefit plan accruals for participants. As a result of the freeze, a curtailment was triggered and a restatement of the benefit obligation and plan assets occurred, although no gain or loss resulted. The annual measurement date for the Pension Plan is September 30. Benefits are based on years of credited service at retirement. Annual contributions to the Pension Plan are not less than the minimum funding standards outlined in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. We maintain the Pension Plan with the goal of ensuring that it is adequately funded to meet its future obligations. We did not make any contributions to the Pension Plan during the three months ended December 31, 2023 and do not anticipate making any contributions for the remainder of the fiscal year ending September 30, 2024.

The components of net periodic pension cost are as follows:

(in thousands)	Three Months Ended December 31, 2023		Three Months Ended December 31, 2022
Service cost	$	26	$	26
Interest cost	92		93
Expected return on plan assets	(76)		(84)
Net periodic pension cost	$	42	$	35

The service cost component of total pension expense is included as a component of cost of revenue on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The interest cost and expected return on plan assets’ components of total pension expense are included as components of other expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Net pension asset is included as a component of other non-current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023. As of December 31, 2023, the Pension Plan assets consist of cash and cash equivalents, and we manage a liability-driven investment strategy intended to maintain fully-funded status.

401(k) Plan

We have a savings plan that qualifies as a deferred salary arrangement under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Under this savings plan, participating employees may defer a portion of their pretax earnings up to the Internal Revenue Service annual contribution limit. Our matching contribution in cash for the three months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, was $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively.
