RETIREMENT PLANS

Defined Benefit Plans

Supplemental Retirement Plans — These unfunded, nonqualified plans are for certain current and former employees. Each year, our contributions to these plans are made in amounts sufficient to meet benefit payments to plan participants. Our liability for these plans totaled approximately $9 million and $10 million at December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively.

Post-retirement Plan — This unfunded health care and life insurance plan provides post-retirement benefits to certain former full-time employees who meet minimum age and service requirements. Our contribution toward the retiree medical premium has been permanently frozen at an amount that does not increase in any future year. Each year, our contributions to the plan are made in amounts sufficient to meet the portion of the premiums that are our responsibility. Our liability for this plan was less than $1 million at December 31, 2023 and 2022.

The liability for supplemental retirement and post-retirement benefits is included in “Other liabilities” on the consolidated balance sheet.

Defined Contribution Plan

We offer a 401(k) and employee stock ownership plan under which employees select from several investment alternatives. Employees can contribute up to 80% of their earnings subject to the annual maximum allowed contribution. We match 100% of the first 3% of employee contributions and 50% of the next 3% of employee contributions. Matching contributions to participants totaled $35 million, $33 million, and $32 million in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively.

The 401(k) plan also has a noncontributory profit-sharing feature that is discretionary and may range from 0% to 3.5% of eligible compensation based upon our performance according to a formula approved annually by the Board. The profit-sharing expense was $16 million, $19 million, and $24 million in 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. The profit-sharing contribution to participants consisted of shares of our common stock purchased in the open market.
