Retirement Benefit Plans

Retirement Benefit Plans

The Company and certain of its subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans covering some of its employees. The components of net periodic benefit cost of the Company’s defined benefit plans are as follows:

	Three Months Ended December 31,
	2020		2019
Service cost	$	26	$	85
Interest cost	175		208
Expected return on plan assets	(355)		(376)
Amortization of net loss	211		188
Net periodic cost	$	57	$	105

During the three months ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company made $0 and $188 in contributions, respectively, to its defined benefit pension plans. The Company anticipates making $296 additional cash contributions to fund its defined benefit pension plans for the balance of fiscal 2021 and will use carryover balances from previous periods that have been available for use as a credit to reduce the amount of cash contributions that the Company is required to make to certain defined benefit plans in fiscal 2021. The Company's ability to elect to use such carryover balance will be determined based on the actual funded status of each defined benefit pension plan relative to the plan's minimum regulatory funding requirements. The Company does not anticipate making cash contributions above the minimum funding requirement to fund its defined benefit pension plans during the balance of fiscal 2021.
