Retirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Employee Benefit Plans | Employee Benefit Plans 401(k) Retirement Plan We sponsor a single 401(k) retirement plan covering substantially all full-time, non-union employees, as well as union employees at two of our manufacturing facilities. Under the plan, employees are allowed to contribute up to 60% of eligible earnings to the plan, up to statutory limits. On January 1, 2023, we began matching 100% of the first two percent contributed and 50% of the next four percent contributed on eligible compensation that non-union employees contribute. Previously, we matched 100% of the first one percent contributed and 50% of the next five percent contributed on eligible compensation that non-union employees contribute. We contribute to the union plans based on the contractual terms. In total, our matching contributions were $9.1 million in fiscal 2025, $9.6 million in fiscal 2024 and $8.6 million in fiscal 2023. Deferred Compensation Plan We maintain a plan that allows participants to defer compensation. The deferred compensation liability was $5.6 million and $5.9 million at March 1, 2025 and March 2, 2024, respectively. We have investments in corporate-owned life insurance policies (COLI) of $9.5 million and money market funds (classified as cash equivalents) of $0.3 million with the intention of utilizing them as long-term funding sources for this plan. The COLI assets are recorded at their net cash surrender values and are included in other non-current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. Plans under Collective Bargaining Agreements We contribute to a number of multi-employer union retirement plans, which provide retirement benefits to the majority of our union-represented employees; none of the plans are considered significant. However, the risks of participating in these multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: •Assets contributed to these plans by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers •If a participating employer stops contributing to the plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers •If we choose to stop participating in some of these plans, we may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, referred to as a withdrawal liability Under the Pension Protection Act, multiemployer pension plans are categorized into zones (green, yellow, red, and deep red). Among other factors, plans in the red zone are generally less than 65% funded, plans in the yellow zone are between 65% and 80% funded, and plans in the green zone are at least 80% funded. The most recent Pension Protection Act zone status available for fiscals 2025 and 2024 relates to the plan years ending December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. Our participation in these plans is outlined in the following table.

Amounts contributed in fiscal 2025, 2024, and 2023 to defined contribution multiemployer plans were $3.6 million, $2.2 million and $2.2 million, respectively. Obligations and Funded Status of Defined-Benefit Pension Plans We sponsor the Tubelite Inc. Hourly Employees' Pension Plan, a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants in fiscal 2004, with no additional benefits accruing to plan participants after such time. We also sponsor an unfunded Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP), a defined-benefit pension plan that was frozen to new entrants in fiscal 2009, with no additional benefits accruing to plan participants after such time. The following tables present reconciliations of the benefit obligation and the funded status of these plans. The Tubelite plan uses a measurement date as of the calendar month-end closest to our fiscal year-end, while the SERP uses a measurement date aligned with our fiscal year-end.

Additional Information Assumptions

Discount rate |  | 5.10 | % |  | 5.15 | % |  | 5.10 | %

Expected long-term rate of return on assets |  | 4.60 | % |  | 4.50 | % |  | 2.75 | %
Discount rate. The discount rate reflects the current rate at which the defined-benefit plans' pension liabilities could be effectively settled at the end of the year based on the measurement date. The discount rate was determined by matching the expected benefit payments to payments from the Principal Discount Yield Curve. Expected return on assets. The expected long-term rate of return on assets is based on historical long-term rates of return achieved by the plan investments, the plan's investment strategy, and current and projected market conditions. During fiscal 2019, the assets of the Tubelite plan were moved from investment in a short-term bond fund to various duration fixed income funds. The investments are carried at fair value based on prices from recent trades of similar securities, which would be classified as Level 2 in the valuation hierarchy. We do not maintain assets intended for the future use of the SERP. Contributions Company contributions to the plans for fiscal 2025 were $0.4 million and fiscal 2024 were $0.6 million, which equaled or exceeded the minimum funding requirements. Estimated Future Benefit Payments The following benefit payments, which reflect expected future service, are expected to be paid by the plans:
(In thousands) |  | 2026 |  | 2027 |  | 2028 |  | 2029 |  | 2030 |  | 2031-2035
