Fair Value Measurement

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2021

The fair value hierarchy is based on inputs to valuation techniques that are used to measure fair value that are either observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability based on market data obtained from independent sources while unobservable inputs reflect a reporting entity's pricing based upon their own market assumptions. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:

•Level I - Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets.

•Level II - Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations whose inputs are observable or whose significant value drivers are observable.

•Level III - Instruments whose significant value drivers are unobservable.

The following table presents for each of these hierarchy levels, the Company's financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis at June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020:


(In thousands)	Level I		Level II		Level III		Total
At June 30, 2021:
Assets
Cash equivalents	$	140,037	$	—	$	—	$	140,037
Marketable securities	9,019		—		—		9,019


Foreign currency derivatives	—		473		—		473

Liabilities
Interest rate swap contracts	$	—	$	1,195	$	—	$	1,195
Foreign currency derivatives	—		2,948		—		2,948


At December 31, 2020:
Assets
Cash equivalents	$	107,494	$	—	$	—	$	107,494
Marketable securities	62,442		—		—		62,442


Foreign currency derivatives	—		667		—		667

Liabilities
Interest rate swap contracts	$	—	$	2,403	$	—	$	2,403
Foreign currency derivatives	—		3,515		—		3,515

The Company's cash equivalents and marketable securities are classified within Level I of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices.

The Company's interest rate swap contracts and foreign currency derivatives are classified within Level II of the fair value hierarchy as their fair values are determined based on a market approach valuation technique that uses readily observable market parameters and the consideration of counterparty risk.

At June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis that would be considered Level III.

Fair value measurements are also used in nonrecurring valuations performed in connection with acquisition accounting and impairment testing. These nonrecurring valuations primarily include the valuation of intangible assets and property and equipment. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level III of the fair value hierarchy.

Credit Facility Debt and Senior Notes

The fair values of each of the Company's debt instruments are based on quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for instruments of the same remaining maturities.

The carrying values and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments, excluding those that are carried at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, are summarized as follows:


(In thousands)	June 30, 2021
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Debt instruments:
Term loan A facility	$	663,245	$	669,938
5.00% Notes due April 2024	397,210		404,500
4.75% Notes due August 2025	791,097		821,000
4.25% Notes due February 2029	983,112		1,006,250

	$	2,834,664	$	2,901,688


(In thousands)	December 31, 2020
	Carrying Amount		Estimated Fair Value
Debt instruments:
Term loan A facility	$	669,878	$	665,719
4.75% Notes due December 2022	398,230		400,500
5.00% Notes due April 2024	991,074		1,015,000
4.75% Notes due August 2025	790,125		826,160

	$	2,849,307	$	2,907,379

Fair value estimates related to the Company's debt instruments presented above are made at a specific point in time, based on relevant market information and information about the financial instrument. These estimates are subjective in nature and involve uncertainties and matters of significant judgments and therefore cannot be determined with precision. Changes in assumptions could significantly affect the estimates.
