Fair Value Measurement

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2018

Fair value is the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair value is estimated by applying the following hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value into three levels and bases the categorization within the hierarchy upon the lowest level of input that is available and significant to the fair value measurement:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than those included in Level 1. For example, quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in inactive markets.

Level 3 - Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s assumptions about the inputs used in pricing the asset or liability.

Our financial instruments consist of cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities. The carrying value of these instruments approximates fair value as a result of the short duration of such instruments or due to the variability of interest cost associated with such instruments.

Our derivative assets and liabilities represent foreign exchange contracts and an interest rate swap agreement that are measured at fair value using observable market inputs. Based on these inputs, the derivative assets and liabilities are classified as Level 2. The fair values of our derivative assets and liabilities are categorized as follows:



		June 30, 2018								December 31, 2017
		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3

The fair value of long-term debt obligations is based on a fair value model utilizing observable inputs. Based on these inputs, our long-term debt is classified as Level 2. The carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt obligations are as follows:



	June 30, 2018				December 31, 2017
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Term loan and security agreement¹	$	165,353	$	165,566	$	166,949	$	169,972


¹	Presented in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as the current portion of long-term debt of $3.2 million and long-term debt of $162.1 million as of June 30, 2018, and current portion of long-term debt of $3.2 million and long-term debt of $163.8 million as of December 31, 2017.

There are no fair value measurements of our long-lived assets and definite-lived intangible assets measured on a non-recurring basis as of June 30, 2018 and 2017.
