Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Dec. 02, 2023

The Company's financial instruments consist of cash equivalents, marketable securities, accounts and notes receivable, deferred compensation plan, accounts payable, debt, interest rate swaps, foreign currency exchange contracts, redeemable noncontrolling interests, indefinite-lived intangible assets and right-of-use assets. The Company's financial instruments, other than long-term debt, are recorded at fair value.

The carrying value and fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, is as follows for the periods indicated:


(In millions)	December 2, 2023		June 3, 2023
Carrying value	$	1,331.1	$	1,414.4
Fair value	$	1,369.4	$	1,378.2

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded in net earnings, which have not significantly changed in the current period:

Cash and cash equivalents — The Company invests excess cash in short term investments in the form of money market funds, which are valued using net asset value ("NAV").

Mutual Funds-equity — The Company's equity securities primarily include equity mutual funds. The equity mutual fund investments are recorded at fair value using quoted prices for similar securities.

Deferred compensation plan — The Company's deferred compensation plan primarily includes various domestic and international mutual funds that are recorded at fair value using quoted prices for similar securities.

Foreign currency exchange contracts — The Company's foreign currency exchange contracts are valued using an approach based on foreign currency exchange rates obtained from active markets. The estimated fair value of forward currency exchange contracts is based on month-end spot rates as adjusted by market-based current activity. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments.

The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through net income and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of December 2, 2023 and June 3, 2023.


(In millions)	December 2, 2023				June 3, 2023
Financial Assets	NAV		Quoted Prices with Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		NAV		Quoted Prices with Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	7.3	$	—	$	17.3	$	—

Foreign currency forward contracts	—		1.6		—		1.3
Deferred compensation plan	—		18.6		—		16.3
Total	$	7.3	$	20.2	$	17.3	$	17.6

Financial Liabilities
Foreign currency forward contracts	—		0.5		—		1.8

Total	$	—	$	0.5	$	—	$	1.8

The following describes the methods the Company uses to estimate the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recorded in other comprehensive income, which have not significantly changed in the current period:

Interest rate swap agreements — The value of the Company's interest rate swap agreements are determined using a market approach based on rates obtained from active markets. The interest rate swap agreements are designated as cash flow hedging instruments.

The following table sets forth financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and the respective pricing levels to which the fair value measurements are classified within the fair value hierarchy as of December 2, 2023 and June 3, 2023.


(In millions)		December 2, 2023		June 3, 2023
Financial Assets	Balance Sheet Location	Quoted Prices with Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Quoted Prices with Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)

Interest rate swap agreement	Other noncurrent assets	$	57.5	$	59.9
Total		$	57.5	$	59.9

Financial Liabilities
Interest rate swap agreement	Other liabilities	$	0.8	$	3.0

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Foreign Currency Forward Contracts

The Company transacts business in various foreign currencies and has established a program that primarily utilizes foreign currency forward contracts to reduce the risks associated with the effects of certain foreign currency exposures. Under this program, the Company's strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses. These foreign currency exposures typically arise from net liability or asset exposures in non-functional currencies on the balance sheets of our foreign subsidiaries. These foreign currency forward contracts generally settle within 30 days and are not used for trading purposes.

These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments. Accordingly, we record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of the reporting period in the Consolidated Balance Sheets with changes in fair value recorded within the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The balance sheet classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is to Other current assets for unrealized gains and to Other accrued liabilities for unrealized losses. The Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income classification for the fair values of these forward contracts is to Other (income) expense, net, for both realized and unrealized gains and losses.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements to manage its exposure to interest rate changes and its overall cost of borrowing. The Company's interest rate swap agreements exchange variable rate interest payments for fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without the exchange of the underlying notional amounts. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreements is used to measure interest to be paid or received. The differential paid or received on the interest rate swap agreements is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense.

The interest rate swaps were designated as cash flow hedges at inception and the facts and circumstances of the hedged relationships remain consistent with the initial quantitative effectiveness assessment in that the hedged instruments remain an effective accounting hedge as of December 2, 2023. Since a designated derivative meets hedge accounting criteria, the fair value of the hedge is recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity as a component of Accumulated other comprehensive loss, net of tax. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is immediately recognized in earnings. The interest rate swap agreements are assessed for hedge effectiveness on a quarterly basis.


(In millions)	Notional Amount		Forward Start Date	Amendment Effective Date	Termination Date	Effective Fixed Interest Rate
September 2016 Interest Rate Swap	$	150.0	January 3, 2018	February 3, 2023	January 3, 2028	1.910	%
June 2017 Interest Rate Swap	$	75.0	January 3, 2018	February 3, 2023	January 3, 2028	2.348	%
January 2022 Interest Rate Swap	$	575.0	January 31, 2022	January 31, 2023	January 29, 2027	1.650	%
March 2023 Interest Rate Swap	$	150.0	March 3, 2023	none	January 3, 2029	3.950	%

The swaps above effectively converted indebtedness up to the notional amounts from a SOFR-based floating interest rate plus 0.11448% plus applicable margin to an effective fixed interest rate plus 0.11448% plus applicable margin under the terms of our Credit Agreement, as amended. Effective Fixed Interest Rates include the rates amended effective January 31, 2023, or February 3, 2023, for the first three swaps included in the chart above.

The following table summarizes the effects of the interest rate swap agreements for the three and six months ended:


	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
(In millions)	December 2, 2023		December 3, 2022		December 2, 2023		December 3, 2022
(Loss) Gain recognized in Other comprehensive loss (effective portion)	$	(7.9)	$	7.2	$	(0.1)	$	21.5
Gain reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings	$	7.7	$	2.4	$	15.1	$	2.0

There were no gains or losses recognized in earnings for hedge ineffectiveness for the three and six month periods ended December 2, 2023 and December 3, 2022. The amount of gain expected to be reclassified from Accumulated other comprehensive income into earnings during the next twelve months is $27.1 million, net of tax is $20.3 million.
