Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans The Company provides postretirement medical benefits (the “Plan”) for eligible regular full and part-time domestic employees (including spouses) who retired prior to January 1, 2016, as outlined by the Plan. The Plan is unfunded, and the liability, unrecognized gain, and associated income statement impact are immaterial. The current portion and non-current portion of the liabilities for postretirement medical benefits are included in “Other current liabilities” and “Other liabilities,” respectively, on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2025 and 2024. The unrecognized gain is reported as a component of AOCI. The Company also has two deferred compensation plans, the Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the Director Deferred Compensation Plan which allow for compensation to be deferred into either the Company's Class A Nonvoting Common Stock or in other investment funds. Neither plan allows funds to be transferred between the Company's Class A Nonvoting Common Stock and the other investment funds. The Company has an additional non-qualified deferred compensation plan, the Brady Restoration Plan, which allows an equivalent benefit to the Matched 401(k) Plan and the Funded Retirement Plan for executives' income exceeding the IRS limits for participation in a qualified 401(k) plan. Deferred compensation of $19,998 and $20,029 was included in “Other liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The Company has retirement and profit-sharing plans covering substantially all full-time domestic employees and certain employees of its foreign subsidiaries. Contributions to the plans are determined annually or quarterly, according to the respective plan, based on income of the respective companies and employee contributions. Accrued retirement and profit-sharing contributions of $4,742 and $3,656 were included in “Other current liabilities” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amounts charged to expense for these retirement and profit sharing plans were $17,921, $16,134, and $15,089 during the years ended July 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
