Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2022

The Company estimates the fair value of its financial instruments utilizing a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The following summarizes the three levels of inputs, as well as the assets that the Company values using those levels of inputs on a recurring basis.

Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities. The Company’s Level 1 assets consist of marketable securities (primarily mutual funds) held in the Deferred Compensation Plan.

Level 2: Observable inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable. The Company’s Level 2 assets consist of money market funds held in the Company's Deferred Compensation Plan.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs, supported by little or no market data available, where the reporting entity is required to develop its own assumptions to determine the fair value of the instrument. The Company does not currently have any assets recorded at fair value whose fair value was determined using Level 3 inputs and there were no transfers of Level 3 assets during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company had the following assets recorded in the consolidated balance sheets measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Other financial instruments disclosure

The Company believes that the fair values of its current assets and current liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts due to the short-term nature of these items. In addition, the interest rates of the Company's senior unsecured revolving credit facility adjust frequently based on current market rates; accordingly, we believe its carrying amount, when amounts are drawn, approximates fair value.

The fair values of the Company's senior unsecured notes are classified as Level 2, as the significant inputs are observable in an active market. Refer to Note 5 for further information on debt, including the maturity of the 2012 Senior Notes. At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying amounts and fair values are as follows:


	June 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
2020 Senior Notes	$	444,775	$	396,675	$	444,470	$	477,675
2019 Senior Notes	395,538		355,668		395,237		425,984
2012 Senior Notes	216,571		216,571		216,351		221,702

Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgment. Settlement of such fair value amounts may not be possible or a prudent management decision.
