Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2018

As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the amounts of our assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value were immaterial.

Fair value measurements are categorized in one of the following three levels based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety:

Level 1- Inputs to the valuation methodology are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2- Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities include:


a)	quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;


b)	quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets;


c)	inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability;


d)	inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means.

If the asset or liability has a specified (contractual) term, the Level 2 input must be observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3- Inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable (i.e., supported by little or no market activity) and significant to the fair value measure.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying amounts reported in our condensed consolidated balance sheets for accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and other liabilities approximate fair value due to the immediate to short-term maturity of these financial instruments. The fair values of our ABL facility, accounts receivable securitization facility and capital leases approximated their book values as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. The estimated fair values of our financial instruments, all of which are categorized in Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy, as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 have been calculated based upon available market information, and were as follows:



	September 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Senior notes	$	7,014	$	7,006	$	7,008	$	7,340
