6. Fair Value Measurements

        We measure fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Fair value measurements are based on a three-tier hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2, defined as observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities or prices quoted in inactive markets; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability, and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring management to utilize its own assumptions to provide its best estimate of what market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability.

        We did not have any material financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using Level 3 inputs as of March 31, 2017 or 2016. Our non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets and property and equipment, are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, generally when there is a transaction involving those assets such as a purchase transaction, a business combination or an adjustment for impairment. In Fiscal 2017, Level 3 inputs were used to evaluate the fair value of our goodwill in our three reporting units. As a result of our impairment testing, we recorded an adjustment for impairment of approximately $2.2 million in our Agriculture and Weather Analytics reporting unit. No other non- financial assets were measured at fair value during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015.
