RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER BENEFITS RETIREMENT PLANS AND OTHER BENEFITS
U.S. Pension Plan

The Company maintains a nonqualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“U.S. SERP”). The U.S. SERP provides retirement benefits to certain former U.S. employees of the Company. Generally, the U.S. SERP provides a benefit based on average total compensation earned over a participant’s final five years of employment and years of service reduced by benefits earned under any Company retirement program, excluding salary deferrals and matching contributions. In addition, benefits are reduced by Social Security Primary Insurance Amounts attributable to Company contributions. The U.S. SERP is unfunded and participation in the U.S. SERP has been frozen. There is also a defined contribution plan for certain senior executives of the Company.

Non-U.S. Plans

The Company maintains defined benefit plans in France, Germany, India, Switzerland and the U.K. for some of its subsidiaries. Participation in the U.K. plan has been frozen. The U.K. plan is a funded plan and the Company funds this plan in accordance with funding regulations in the U.K. and a negotiated agreement between the Company and the plan’s trustee. The Switzerland plan is a funded plan and the Company funds this plan in accordance with funding regulations. Participation in the German plans is frozen; however, eligible participants are credited with post-freeze service for purposes of determining vesting and the amount of benefits. The plans in France, Germany, and India are unfunded plans. In Italy and Mexico, there are mandatory termination indemnity plans providing a benefit that is payable upon termination of employment in substantially all cases of termination. The Company records this obligation based on mandated requirements. The measure of current obligation is not dependent on the employees’ future service and therefore is measured at current value.

Other Post-employment Benefits

The Company has several non-pension post-retirement benefit programs. The Company provides post-employment health and life insurance benefits to certain former salaried and hourly employees. The health care programs are contributory, with participants’ contributions adjusted annually, and the life insurance plan is noncontributory.

Savings Plans

The Company sponsors various tax deferred savings plans into which eligible employees may elect to contribute a portion of their compensation. The Company may, but is not obligated to, contribute to certain of these plans. Charges recognized for these savings plans were $19.9 million, $17.3 million and $17.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, Company matching contributions to tax deferred savings plans were invested at the direction of plan participants.

Determination of plan obligations and associated expenses requires the use of actuarial valuations based on certain economic assumptions, which includes discount rates and expected rates of return on plan assets The discount rate enables the Company to estimate the present value of expected future cash flows on the measurement date. The rate used reflects a rate of return on high-quality fixed income investments that matches the duration of expected benefit payments at the December 31 measurement date.

The methodology used to determine the rate of return on non-U.S. pension plan assets was based on average rate of earnings on funds invested and to be invested. Based on historical returns and future expectations, the Company believes the investment return assumptions are reasonable. The expected rate of return of plan assets represents an estimate of long-term returns on the investment portfolio. This assumption is reviewed by the trustees and varies with each of the plans.
The overall investment strategy for non-U.S. defined benefit plans is to achieve a mix of investments to support long-term growth and minimize volatility while maximizing rates of return by diversification of asset types, fund strategies and fund managers. Fixed income investments include investments in European government securities and European corporate bonds and constitute approximately 71% and 70% of the portfolio at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Equity investments, multi-asset investment funds and real estate investments that invest in a diversified range of property principally in the retail, office and industrial/warehouse sectors constitute approximately 29% and 30% of the portfolio at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Investments of the plans primarily include investments in companies from diversified industries with 85% invested internationally and 15% invested in North America. The target investment allocations to support the Company’s investment strategy for 2023 are approximately 78% to 79% fixed income securities and approximately 21% to 22% equity securities, multi-asset investment funds and real estate investments.

Fair value of cash in the table below is based on price quotations in an active market and therefore categorized under Level 1 of the ASC 820 hierarchy. Fair value of investment funds is priced on the market value of underlying investments in the portfolio and therefore categorized as Level 2 of the ASC 820 hierarchy. Fair value of group annuity insurance contracts is based on techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable and therefore categorized as Level 3 of the ASC 820 hierarchy. Specifically, group annuity insurance contracts are valued at original buy in price adjusted for changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions. See Note A – “Basis of Presentation,” for an explanation of the ASC 820 hierarchy.

The Company plans to contribute approximately $3 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and post-retirement plans and approximately $6 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans in 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company contributed $2.6 million to its U.S. defined benefit pension plan and post-retirement plans and $6.3 million to its non-U.S. defined benefit pension plans. The Company’s estimated future benefit payments under its plans are as follows (in millions):
Year Ending December 31,U.S. Pension BenefitsNon-U.S. Pension BenefitsOther Benefits
2023$2.5 $6.6 $0.2

2027$2.5 $6.9 $0.1 
2028-2032$12.1 $36.7 $0.5 

For the other benefits, for measurement purposes, a 7% rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits was assumed for 2022, dropping to 6% in 2023 and then decreasing one-half percentage point per year until it reaches 3.50% for 2028 and thereafter. A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a material effect on total service and interest cost components or post-retirement benefit obligation.
