| Pension Plan | 14. Pension Plan The Company and certain subsidiaries have a noncontributory defined benefit retirement plan (the "Pension Plan"), covering approximately 12% of the Company’s aggregate employees. Benefits are based on years of service and the employee’s average compensation for the highest compensation years preceding retirement or termination. Effective January 1, 2009, the Company amended the Pension Plan to exclude any new employees from participation in the Pension Plan. Eligible employees who were hired before January 1, 2009 are still eligible to participate and participating employees continue to accrue benefit service. Pension expense is composed of the following components, included in cost of goods sold and selling, general, and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations (in thousands):
The Company is required to make contributions to the Pension Plan. These contributions are required under the minimum funding requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). The assumptions used to calculate the pension funding deficit are different from the assumptions used to determine the net pension obligation for purposes of our condensed consolidated financial statements. Due to the enactment of the American Rescue Plan ("ARP") Act of 2021, plan sponsors can calculate the discount rate used to measure the Pension Plan liability using a 25-year average of interest rates plus or minus a corridor. Assuming a stable funding status, the Company would expect to make a cash contribution to the Pension Plan of between $1.0 million and $3.0 million per year. However, changes in actual investment returns or in discount rates could change this amount significantly. The Company is not required to make a contribution to the pension plan for fiscal year 2026. The Company made a $1.2 million contribution to the Pension Plan during the fiscal year 2025. As the Company's Pension Plan assets are invested in marketable securities, fluctuations in market values could potentially impact the Company's funding status, associated liabilities recorded and future required minimum contributions. At August 31, 2025, the Company had an unfunded pension asset recorded on its condensed consolidated balance sheet of approximately $1.4 million. |
