We disclosed in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K that we expected to contribute $4.9 and $10.2 in 2015 to our pension and postretirement plans, respectively. Through September 30, 2015, actual contributions to our continuing pension and postretirement plans were $4.2 and $7.4, respectively.
We also sponsor various defined contribution retirement plans in the United States and a number of other countries, consisting primarily of savings and profit growth sharing plans. Contributions to the savings plans are based in part on matching a percentage of employees’ contributions. Contributions to the profit growth sharing plans are generally based on our financial performance. Amounts expensed related to these plans for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $6.1 and $5.7, respectively, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $19.9 and $18.2, respectively.
