14. EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

We have defined contribution profit sharing plans for our employees that qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. These plans provide retirement benefits for employees meeting minimum age and service requirements. Qualified participants may contribute up to 75 percent of their gross wages, subject to certain limitations. These plans also provide for matching contributions to the participants that are paid by the Company. The matching contributions, which were expensed as incurred, totaled $3.0 million, $2.7 million, and $2.5 million during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021, respectively. We do not sponsor or participate in any defined-benefit pension plans.
