Amortization of net periodic benefit cost from accumulated other comprehensive loss for the Company's pension benefit plans is recorded in Selling, general and administrative expenses, Cost of product sales, or Cost of services in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, depending on the employee job classification.

The Company's funding policy is to make contributions in accordance with the laws and customs of the various countries in which it operates and to make discretionary voluntary contributions from time to time. The Company anticipates that it will contribute at least the minimum required to its pension plans in fiscal year 2015 of $13 million for U.S. plans and $23 million for non-U.S. plans. During the quarter ended December 26, 2014, the Company made required contributions of $1 million to its U.S. pension plans and $5 million to its non-U.S. pension plans.
