Certain of the Company’s subsidiaries sponsor defined benefit pension plans or non-retirement post-employment benefits covering substantially all of their employees. Benefits are provided based on employees’ years of service and earnings, or in accordance with applicable employee benefit regulations. The Company’s practice is to fund amounts sufficient to meet the requirements set forth in the applicable employee benefit and tax regulations. The costs of $1.9 million and $2.8 million recorded for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3.8 million and $5.6 million recorded for the six months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, were primarily related to service costs.
