Historically, the Company capitalized in inventory only the service cost portion of periodic benefit costs associated with manufacturing employees. During the three months ended December 31, 2013, the Company began to capitalize the portion of periodic benefit costs related to the interest cost, expected return on assets and amortization of net actuarial loss and prior service cost (benefit), which the Company refers to as pension earnings, interest and deferrals (“pension EID”), related to current manufacturing employees in inventory. The impact of this change resulted in an increase in the amount of capitalized periodic benefit costs of $2.2 million during the three and six months ended December 31, 2013. This change did not have a material impact on any previously reported amounts.
 
During the six months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company made $3.9 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans. The Company currently expects to make approximately $3.2 million of contributions to its qualified defined benefit pension plans during the remainder of fiscal year 2015.
