General Discussion Of Pension And Other Postretirement Benefits [Abstract] |
Pension And Other Postretirement Benefits Disclosure Text Block | 9. Retirement Plans The Company has a noncontributory defined benefit pension plan (the “Plan”) covering all employees who meet certain age-entry requirements and work a stated minimum number of hours per year. Annual contributions are made to the Plan sufficient to satisfy legal funding requirements. The following tables provide a reconciliation of the changes in the Plan's benefit obligation and fair value of plan assets over the two-year period ended March 31, 2014 and a statement of the un funded statu s as of March 31, 20 14 and 2013:
|  | 2014 |  | 2013
|  | (In thousands)
Change in Benefit Obligation |  |  |  |
Benefit obligation at beginning of year | $ | 163,531 | $ | 140,570
Service cost |  | 7,752 |  | 6,988
Interest cost |  | 7,592 |  | 7,265
Actuarial (gain) loss |  | (3,109) |  | 13,828
Benefit payments and expenses |  | (5,288) |  | (5,120)
Benefit obligation at end of year | $ | 170,478 | $ | 163,531
Change in Plan Assets |  |  |  |
Fair value of plan assets at beginning of year | $ | 135,016 | $ | 116,798
Actual gain on plan assets |  | 22,922 |  | 20,338
Employer contributions |  | 2,000 |  | 3,000
Benefit payments and expenses |  | (5,288) |  | (5,120)
Fair value of plan assets at end of year | $ | 154,650 | $ | 135,016
Unfunded Status | $ | (15,828) | $ | (28,515)
The un funded status de creased by $12.7 million during 2014 reflecting the actual fair value of plan assets as of March 31, 2014 and the current unfunded liability based on the projected benefit obligation, which increased from $163.5 million to $170.5 million. This unfunded status de crease was recognized via the actual gain on plan assets and the decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income of $11.3 million after the income tax benefit of $7.2 million. Plan assets increased from $135.0 million as of March 31, 20 13 to $154.7 million as of March 31, 2014 due to a continued recovery in market conditions and the $2.0 million contribution by the Company. The Company made this contribution to maintain our funding status at an acceptable level. The unfunded liability is reflected in other liabilities in the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Plan's accumulated benefit obligation was $152.2 million at March 31, 201 4, and $14 6.2 million at March 31, 20 13. Prior service costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the average remaining service period of active participants. Gains and losses in excess of 10% of the greater of the benefit obligation and the market-related value of assets are amortized over the average remaining service period of active participants. The assumptions used to measure the Company's benefit obligation and pension expense are shown in the following table:
|  | 2014 |  | 2013 |
Discount rate - benefit obligation |  | 4.85 | % | 4.70 | %
Discount rate - pension expense |  | 4.70 | % | 5.10 | %
Expected return on plan assets |  | 7.50 | % | 7.50 | %
Rate of compensation increase |  | 3.00 | % | 3.00 | %
The Company's plan assets consist of the following:
| Target |  | Percentage of Plan |
| Allocation |  | Assets at March 31, |
| 2015 |  | 2014 |  | 2013 |
Plan Assets |  |  |  |  |  |
Equity securities | 99 | % | 99 | % | 99 | %
Debt securities | 0 |  | 0 |  | 0 |
Real estate | 0 |  | 0 |  | 0 |
Cash | 1 |  | 1 |  | 1 |
Total | 100 | % | 100 | % | 100 | %
All securities, which are valued at fair market value, are considered to be level 1 due to their public active market. Expected Return on Plan Assets The expected long-term rate of return on Plan assets is 7.50%. The Company expects 7.5 0% to fall within the 40-to-50 percentile range of returns on investment portfolios with asset diversification similar to that of the Plan's target asset allocation. Investment Policy and Strategy The Company maintains an investment policy designed to achieve a long-term rate of return, including investment income through dividends and equity appreciation, sufficient to meet the actuarial requirements of the Plan. The Company seeks to accomplish its return objectives by prudently investing in a diversified portfolio of public company equities with broad industry representation seeking to provide long-term growth consistent with the performance of relevant market indices, as well as maintain an adequate level of liquidity for pension distributions as they fall due. The strategy of being fully invested in equities has historically provided greater rates of return over ex tended periods of time. T he Company's gain on plan assets during 2014 was 17.0% as compared to the S&P 500 unaudited gain (including dividends) of 22.8%. Plan assets include Company common stock with a fair market value of $11.6 million as of March 31, 2014 and $11.6 million as of March 31, 20 13. Cash Flows Expected contributions for f iscal year ending March 31, 2015 (in thousands):
Expected Employer Contributions |  |  | $ | 0
Expected Employee Contributions |  |  |  | 0
Estimated future benefit payments reflecting expected future
service for the fiscal years ending March 31 (in thousands):
2015 |  |  | $ | 5,860
2016 |  |  |  | 6,145
2017 |  |  |  | 6,644

2019 |  |  |  | 7,936
2020-2023 |  |  |  | 50,277
T he Company also has employees' savings 401(k) p lans covering all employees who meet certain age-entry requirements and work a stated minimum number of hours per year. Participants may make contributions up to the legal limit. The Company's matching contributions are discretionary. Costs charged to operations for the Company's matching contributions amounted to $2.3 million, $1.7 million, and $1.4 million, in fiscal 201 4, 20 13, and 2012, respectively. In fiscal 2014, the matching contribution included $2.0 million of treasury stock and $0.1 million of cash match. The stock portion of the matching contribution is valued at current market value while the treasury stock is valued at cost. Multi-employer Plan The Company contributes to the Teamsters California State Council of Cannery and Food Processing Unions, International Brotherhood of Teamsters Pension Fund (Western Conference of Teamsters Pension Plan# 91-6145047/001) ("Teamsters Plan") under the terms of a collective-bargaining agreement with some of its Modesto, California employees. The term of the current collective bargaining agreement is June 1, 2012 through June 30, 2015. For the f iscal years ended March 31, 2014 and March 31, 2 013 contributions to the Teamsters Plan were $2.4 million and $2.4 million, respectively. The contributions to this plan are paid monthly based upon the number of hours worked by covered employees. They represent less than 5% of the total contributions received by this plan during the most recent plan year. The risks of participating in multi-employer plans are different from single-employer plans in the following aspects: (a) assets contributed to a multi-employer plan by one employer may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers, (b) if a participating employer stops contributing to the multi-employer plan, the unfunded obligations of the plan may be borne by the remaining participating employers and (c) if the Company chooses to stop participating in the plan, the Company may be required to pay a withdraw al liability based on the underfunded status of the plan. The Teamsters Plan received a Pension Protection Act “green” zone status for the plan year ended January 1, 2014. The zone status is based on information the Company received from the plan and is certified by the plan's actuary. Among other factors, plans in the green zone are at least 80 percent funded.
