For the pension plan presented above, the accumulated and projected benefit obligations exceed the fair value of plan assets.

 

Certain, primarily unionized, employees are entitled to limited grandfathered postretirement benefits (medical, dental, and life insurance coverage). The accumulated benefit obligation for the post-retirement benefit plans, which are not funded, at December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 are $2.7 million, $4.2 million and $6.0 million respectively. The balances are included within other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet. The Company recorded an inconsequential amount of income for the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020. The Company recorded a loss in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the year ended December 31, 2022 of $0.6 million ($0.4 million net of tax).

The key economic assumptions used in the computation of the respective benefit obligations at December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, presented below are as follows:

The expected long-term rate of return represents the average rate of earnings expected on the funds invested or to be invested to provide for the benefits included in the benefit obligation. The assumption reflects expectations regarding future rates of return for the investment portfolio, with consideration given to the distribution of investments by asset class and historical rates of return for each individual asset class.

 

Amounts recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as of December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 consist of the following:

The unrecognized prior service cost included in accumulated other compressive income (loss) and expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the year ending December 31, 2023 is $0.1 million (net of $0.0 million tax). The actuarial losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and expected to be recognized in net periodic pension cost during the year ending December 31, 2023 is $0.1 million (net of $0.0 million of tax).

 

Other changes recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) in the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

The investment strategy is to achieve a rate of return on the plan’s assets that meets the performance of liabilities as calculated using a bank’s liability index with appropriate adjustments for benefit payments, service cost and actuarial assumption changes. A determinant of the plan’s return is the asset allocation policy. The plan’s asset mix will be reviewed by the Company periodically, but

at least quarterly, to rebalance within the target guidelines. The Company will also periodically review investment managers to determine if the respective manager has performed satisfactorily when compared to the defined objectives, similar invested portfolios and specific market indices.

Expected cash flows

The following table provides the amounts of expected benefit payments, which are made from the plans’ assets and includes the participants’ share of the costs, which is funded by participant contributions. The amounts in the table are actuarially determined and reflect the Company’s best estimate given its current knowledge; actual amounts could be materially different.

Defined Contribution Plans

Under the terms of the Company’s defined contribution plans, eligible employees may contribute up to 75% percent of their eligible compensation to the plan on a pre-tax basis, subject to annual IRS limitations. The Company makes matching contributions equal to half of the first six percent of eligible compensation contributed by each employee and made a unilateral contribution (including for non-contributing employees). The Company’s expense associated with the defined contribution plans was $12.5 million, $11.8 million and $11.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
