Fair Value Measurements

12 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2018

The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, net trade accounts receivable, prepaid expenses, income taxes receivable, other current assets, short-term borrowings, trade accounts payable, accrued payroll, other accrued expenses, income taxes payable, and value added tax payable approximate the carrying values due to the relatively short maturities of these assets and liabilities. The fair values of the Company's long-term liabilities do not significantly differ from the carrying values. The Company records the fair value of assets or liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities in other current assets or other accrued expenses, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets.

The inputs used in measuring fair value are prioritized into the following hierarchy:


•	Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.


•	Level 2: Observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.


•	Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists, therefore requiring the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

The assets and liabilities that are measured on a recurring basis at fair value are summarized as follows:



	Fair Value as of March 31, 2018			Measured Using
	Fair Value as of March 31, 2018			Level 1			Level 2			Level 3

Non-qualified deferred compensation liability	(4,140		)	(4,140		)	—		—
Designated Derivative Contracts asset	1,365			—			1,365		—

The non-qualified deferred compensation asset of $7,172 is recorded in other assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The non-qualified deferred compensation liability of $4,296 is recorded in the consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2018, with $575 recorded in other accrued expenses and $3,721 in other long-term liabilities.

The Level 2 inputs consist of forward spot rates at the end of the applicable reporting period. The Company records the fair value of assets or liabilities associated with derivative instruments and hedging activities in other current assets or other accrued expenses, respectively, in the consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9, "Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Contracts and Hedging," for further information on these derivative instruments.
