Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits Cost (Reversal of Cost) [Abstract] |
Retirement Plans | Defined benefit pension plans — We sponsor two defined benefit pension plans, a frozen “Qualified Plan” covering substantially all full-time employees hired prior to January 1, 2011, and an unfunded supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) which provides certain employees additional pension benefits and was closed to new participants effective January 1, 2007. Benefits under both plans are based on the employee’s years of service and compensation over defined periods of employment. Postretirement healthcare plans — We also sponsor two healthcare plans, closed to new participants, that provide postretirement medical benefits to certain employees who have met minimum age and service requirements. The plans are contributory; with retiree contributions adjusted annually, and contain other cost-sharing features such as deductibles and coinsurance. Net periodic benefit cost — The components of net periodic benefit cost in each period were as follows (in thousands):
| Quarter |  | Year-to-date

(2) | Amounts were reclassified from accumulated OCI into net earnings as a component of “Other pension and post-retirement expenses, net.”
Changes in presentation —As discussed in Note 1, Basis in Presentation, we adopted ASU 2017-07 during the first quarter of 2019 using the retrospective method, which changed the financial statement presentation of service costs and the other components of net periodic benefit cost. The service cost component continues to be included in operating income; however, the other components are now presented in a separate line below earnings from operations captioned “Other pension and post-retirement expenses, net” in our condensed consolidated statements of earnings. Further, in connection with the adoption, plan administrative expenses historically presented as a component of service cost are now presented as a component of expected return on plan assets. The prior year components of net periodic benefit costs have been recast to conform to current year presentation. Future cash flows — Our policy is to fund our plans at or above the minimum required by law. As of January 1, 2018, the date of our last actuarial funding valuation, there was no minimum contribution funding requirement. Details regarding 2019 contributions are as follows (in thousands):
| SERP |  | Postretirement Healthcare Plans
Net year-to-date contributions | $ | 2,989 |  |  | $ | 682 |
Remaining estimated net contributions during fiscal 2019 | $ | 2,100 |  |  | $ | 700 |
We continue to evaluate contributions to our Qualified Plan based on changes in pension assets as a result of asset performance in the current market and the economic environment. We do not anticipate making any contributions to our Qualified Plan in fiscal 2019.
