Fair Value Measurement

Note 3 — Fair Value Measurement

Refer to Note 3 of the Company’s audited financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014, which are included as Exhibit 13.1 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, as filed with the SEC, for a discussion regarding fair value measurement.

GAAP requires disclosure about how fair value is determined for assets and liabilities and establishes a hierarchy for which these assets and liabilities must be grouped, based on significant level of inputs. The three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies, is as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company had no transfers between Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 assets during the three months ended September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company had recorded goodwill in the amount of $1.5 billion. The Company performed its annual impairment testing of its goodwill balance as of May 31, 2015, and this test did not indicate any impairment. The fair value of the reporting units substantially exceeds their carrying value.

 

The Company had nonrecurring fair value measurements related to discontinued operations. The Company determined that the carrying value of its assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, approximate their fair values.
