EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS |
EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS | 12. EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT PLANS We have a defined benefit pension plan which was frozen effective December 31, 2016. No benefits have been accrued under the plan subsequent to that date. We also have an unfunded supplemental pension plan for key executives. Retirement benefits are provided based on employees’ years of credited service and average earnings or stated amounts for years of service. Normal retirement age is 65 with provisions for earlier retirement. The plan also has provisions for disability and death benefits. Our funding policy for the defined benefit pension plan is to make contributions to the plan such that all employees’ benefits will be fully provided by the time they retire. Plan assets are stated at fair value and consist primarily of equity securities and fixed income securities, mainly U.S. government and corporate obligations. We follow ASC 715, Compensation – Retirement Benefits, which requires employers to recognize the funded status of defined benefit pension and other postretirement benefit plans as an asset or liability in their statements of financial position and to recognize changes in the funded status in the year in which the changes occur as a component of comprehensive income. In addition, ASC 715 requires employers to measure the funded status of their plans as of the date of their year-end statements of financial position. ASC 715 also requires additional disclosures regarding amounts included in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Our pension plan’s weighted average asset allocation at December 31, 2024 and 2023, by asset category, was as follows:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Plan Assets at December 31, |
​ |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |
Asset Category: |  |  |  |  | ​
Equity Securities |  | 59 | % | 58 | %
Fixed Income Securities |  | 31 | % | 28 | %
Other |  | 10 | % | 14 | %
Total |  | 100 | % | 100 | %
​ We have a Retirement Plan Committee, consisting of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to manage the operations and administration of all benefit plans and related trusts. The committee has an investment policy for the pension plan assets that establishes target asset allocation ranges for the above listed asset classes as follows: equity securities: 20% - 80%; fixed income securities: 20% - 80%; and other, principally cash: 0% - 20%. On a semi-annual basis, the committee reviews progress towards achieving the pension plan’s performance objectives. To develop the expected long-term rate of return on assets assumption, we considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This resulted in the selection of 6.75% as the long-term rate of return on assets assumptions for both 2024 and 2023. The following discount rates were used to determine the funded status of the pension plans as of December 31, 2024 and 2023:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Defined Benefit Pension Plan | ​ | Supplemental Pension Plan |
​ |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023 | ​
Discount rate for determining funded status |  | 5.65 | % | 5.15 | % | 5.65 | % | 5.16 | %

​ The accumulated benefit obligations of the defined benefit pension plan and supplemental pension plan were equal to the respective plans’ projected benefit obligations, as shown in the above table, at December 31, 2024 and 2023. Assumptions used in determining pension expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | Defined Benefit Pension Plan |  | Supplemental Pension Plan |
​ |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |  | 2024 |  | 2023 |

Long-term rate of return on plan assets |  | 6.75 | % | 6.75 | % | — |  | — | ​
​ The components of pension expense for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, were:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | 2024 |  | 2023
​ | ​ | (Dollars in thousands)
Service cost | ​ | $ | 427 | ​ | $ | 467
Interest cost | ​ |  | 2,556 | ​ |  | 2,632
Expected return on plan assets | ​ |  | (2,437) | ​ |  | (2,301)
Net amortization and deferral | ​ |  | 416 | ​ |  | 495
Pension expense | ​ | $ | 962 | ​ | $ | 1,293
​ The components of pension expense other than the service cost component were included in “other expense, net” in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings. It is our intention to satisfy the minimum funding requirements and maintain at least an 80% funding percentage in our defined benefit retirement plan in future years. At this time, we expect that any cash contributions necessary to satisfy these requirements in 2025 would not be material. Projected benefit payments for the plans at December 31, 2024, were estimated as follows:
​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​ | ​
​ |  | Defined Benefit |  | Supplemental
​ | ​ | Pension Plan | ​ | Pension Plan
​ | ​ | (Dollars in thousands)
2025 | ​ | $ | 3,382 | ​ | $ | 528
2026 | ​ | $ | 3,266 | ​ | $ | 607
