16. Fair Value Measurement

Certain assets and liabilities are required to be recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company’s assets and liabilities required to be adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis are pension and other postretirement benefits plan assets, foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps. See Note 15 for further discussion on the fair value of the Company’s foreign exchange forward contracts and interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. See Note 14 for the fair value of the Company’s debt, which is recorded at book value.

In addition to assets and liabilities that are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, the Company is required to record certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a nonrecurring basis, generally as a result of acquisitions or the remeasurement of assets resulting in impairment charges. See Note 2 for further discussion on the fair value of assets and liabilities associated with acquisitions.

The fair value as of the measurement date, net book value as of June 30, 2014 and 2013 and related impairment charge for assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis subsequent to initial recognition during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 were as follows:

Total	$	3.7	$	12.5	$	8.4	$	14.5	$	12.6

The fair values of long-lived assets held for sale that were remeasured during the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 were reduced by estimated costs to sell of $0.3 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The fair values of long-lived assets held for sale that were remeasured during the three and six months ended June 30, 2013 were reduced by estimated costs to sell of $0.9 million.

The Company’s accounting and finance management determines the valuation policies and procedures for Level 3 fair value measurements and is responsible for the development and determination of unobservable inputs.

The fair values of the long-lived assets held and used and long-lived assets held for sale or disposal were determined using Level 3 inputs and were estimated based on discussions with real estate brokers, review of comparable properties, if available, discussions with machinery and equipment brokers, dealer quotes and internal expertise related to the current marketplace conditions. Unobservable inputs obtained from third parties are adjusted as necessary for the condition and attributes of the specific asset.
