The following assumptions were used to determine non-U.S. Plan postretirement benefit obligations:
March 31,
20202019
Discount rate7.94 %7.98 %
Health care cost trend rate assumed for next year7.07 %7.33 %
      Ultimate trend rate7.07 %7.33 %

A one-percentage-point change in assumed health care cost trend rates would not have a significant effect on the amounts reported for health care plans. The annual rate of increase in the per capita cost of covered health care benefits is not applicable as the Company’s annual cost commitment to the benefits is capped and not adjusted for future medical inflation.

Prior service credits of $706 and unrecognized net actuarial losses of $(376) are expected to be amortized from accumulated comprehensive loss into postretirement healthcare benefits net periodic benefit cost for the combined U.S. and non-U.S. postretirement benefits during fiscal 2021.
Cash Flows
The Company expects to contribute $3,991 to its U.S. benefits plans and $1,827 to its non-U.S. benefit plans in fiscal 2021. The Company expects to contribute $488 to its combined U.S. and non-U.S. postretirement benefit plans in fiscal 2021. The Company’s contributions to the defined contribution plans were $4,747, $4,939, and $4,627 the years ended March 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively.
