Defined Benefit Plan [Abstract] |
Defined Benefit Pension Plans | Defined Benefit Pension Plans We sponsor both funded and unfunded defined benefit pension plans offering death and disability, retirement, and special termination benefits for certain of our international employees, primarily in Germany, France, Italy, Indonesia, Brazil, and Spain. The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by using the projected unit credit method. The measurement date for the pension plans was December 31, 2018. The following tables set forth the components of the changes in benefit obligations and fair value of plan assets:

If actuarial gains and losses exceed ten percent of the greater of plan assets or plan liabilities, we amortize them over the employees' average future service period. The estimated net actuarial loss and prior service cost that will be amortized from AOCI into net periodic benefit cost during 2019 is $1.4 million. Net periodic pension benefit costs for our plans include the following components:
| Year Ended December 31,
| 2018 |  | 2017 |  | 2016
| (in thousands)
Service cost | $ | 4,034 |  |  | $ | 3,968 |  |  | $ | 3,472 |

The significant actuarial weighted average assumptions used in determining the benefit obligations and net periodic benefit cost for our benefit plans are as follows:
| At and For The Year Ended December 31,
| 2018 |  | 2017 |  | 2016
Actuarial assumptions used to determine benefit obligations at end of period: |  |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 2.24 | % |  | 2.21 | % |  | 2.18 | %
Expected annual rate of compensation increase | 3.60 | % |  | 3.64 | % |  | 3.65 | %
Actuarial assumptions used to determine net periodic benefit cost for the period: |  |  |  |  |
Discount rate | 2.21 | % |  | 2.18 | % |  | 2.59 | %
Expected rate of return on plan assets | 5.58 | % |  | 5.58 | % |  | 5.29 | %
Expected annual rate of compensation increase | 3.64 | % |  | 3.65 | % |  | 3.60 | %
We determine a discount rate for our plans based on the estimated duration of each plan's liabilities. For our euro denominated defined benefit pension plans, which represent 94% of our benefit obligation, we use two discount rates with consideration of the duration of the plans, using a hypothetical yield curve developed from euro-denominated AA-rated corporate bond issues. These bond issues are partially weighted for market value, with minimum amounts outstanding of €500 million for bonds with less than 10 years to maturity and €50 million for bonds with 10 or more years to maturity, and excluding the highest and lowest yielding 10% of bonds within each maturity group. The discount rates used, depending on the duration of the plans, were 1.00% and 1.75%. Our expected rate of return on plan assets is derived from a study of actual historic returns achieved and anticipated future long-term performance of plan assets, specific to plan investment asset category. While the study primarily gives consideration to recent insurers' performance and historical returns, the assumption represents a long-term prospective return. The total accumulated benefit obligation for our defined benefit pension plans was $97.3 million and $101.4 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The total obligations and fair value of plan assets for plans with projected benefit obligations and accumulated benefit obligations exceeding the fair value of plan assets are as follows:
| At December 31,
2018 |  | 2017
| (in thousands)
Projected benefit obligation | $ | 103,059 |  |  | $ | 106,486 |
Accumulated benefit obligation | 94,831 |  |  | 97,546 |
Fair value of plan assets | 8,807 |  |  | 7,509 |
Our asset investment strategy focuses on maintaining a portfolio using primarily insurance funds, which are accounted for as investments and measured at fair value, in order to achieve our long-term investment objectives on a risk adjusted basis. Our general funding policy for these qualified pension plans is to contribute amounts sufficient to satisfy regulatory funding standards of the respective countries for each plan. The fair values of our plan investments by asset category are as follows:
