Fair Value Measurements

3 Months Ended

Apr. 29, 2023

4. Fair Value Measurements

Fair value measurements are reported in one of three levels based on the lowest level of significant input used: Level 1 (unadjusted quoted prices in active markets); Level 2 (observable market inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1); and Level 3 (unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data).

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Financial assets accounted for at fair value were as follows ($ in millions):



				Fair Value at
	Balance Sheet Location⁽¹⁾	Fair Value Hierarchy		April 29, 2023		January 28, 2023		April 30, 2022
Assets
Money market funds⁽²⁾	Cash and cash equivalents		Level 1	$	133	$	280	$	2
Time deposits⁽³⁾	Cash and cash equivalents		Level 2		115		203		27
Money market funds⁽²⁾	Other current assets		Level 1		200		178		-
Marketable securities that fund deferred compensation⁽⁴⁾	Other assets		Level 1		46		47		51

(1)Balance sheet location is determined by the length to maturity at date of purchase.

(2)Valued at quoted market prices in active markets at period end.

(3)Valued at face value plus accrued interest at period end, which approximates fair value.

(4)Valued using the performance of mutual funds that trade with sufficient frequency and volume to obtain pricing information on an ongoing basis.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair values of cash, restricted cash, receivables, accounts payable and other payables approximated their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. If these instruments were measured at fair value in the financial statements, they would be classified as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Fair values for other investments held at cost are not readily available, but we estimate that the carrying values for these investments approximate their fair values.

Long-term debt is presented at carrying value on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. If our long-term debt were recorded at fair value, it would be classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Long-term debt balances were as follows ($ in millions):


	April 29, 2023				January 28, 2023				April 30, 2022
	Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value
Long-term debt⁽¹⁾	$	1,023	$	1,139	$	1,019	$	1,143	$	1,050	$	1,154

(1)Excludes debt discounts, issuance costs and finance lease obligations.
