Fair Value Measurements
We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value at each reporting period using a fair value hierarchy that requires that we maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s classification within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Three levels of inputs may be used to measure fair value:
Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.
Level 2 — Other inputs that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace.
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity.

Fair Value Measurements of Other Financial Instruments
The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of our financial instruments that are not recorded at fair value in the condensed consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):

Net Carrying Amount Before Unamortized Debt Issuance Costs

0.75% Convertible senior notes

1.50% Convertible senior notes
215,586

 
311,480

 
213,180

 
310,470


The difference between the principal amount of the notes, $350 million for the 0.75% convertible senior notes and $250 million for the 1.50% convertible senior notes, and the net carrying amount before unamortized debt issuance costs represents the unamortized debt discount (see Note 10). The estimated fair value of the convertible senior notes, which we have classified as Level 2 financial instruments, was determined based on the quoted bid price of the convertible senior notes in an over-the-counter market on the last trading day of each reporting period.
Based on the closing price of our common stock of $87.40 on April 30, 2017, the if-converted value of the 0.75% convertible senior notes and the if-converted value of the 1.50% convertible senior notes were greater than their respective principal amounts.
