The Company utilizes a high-quality (Aa or greater) corporate bond yield curve as the basis for its domestic discount rate for its pension benefit plans. Management believes this yield curve removes the impact of including additional required corporate bond yields (potentially considered in the above-median curve) resulting from the uncertain economic climate that does not necessarily reflect the general trend in high-quality interest rates.
Actuarial valuations of the Company's non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans were prepared as of December 31, 2016, 2015 and 2014. Weighted average assumptions used in accounting for the non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans are as follows:
