(1)The fair value of our commodities futures, swaps and options is based on closing market prices of the contracts, inclusive of the risk of nonperformance. (2)The fair value of equity forwards is based on the closing market value of Darden stock, inclusive of the risk of nonperformance. (3)The fair value of our interest rate swap agreements is based on current and expected market interest rates, inclusive of the risk of nonperformance. (4)The fair value of our foreign exchange forwards is based on closing forward exchange market prices, inclusive of the risk of nonperformance. The carrying value and fair value of long-term debt, as of May 25, 2025, was $2.13 billion. The carrying value and fair value of long-term debt as of May 26, 2024, was $1.37 billion. The fair value of long-term debt, which is classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is determined based on market prices or, if market prices are not available, the present value of the underlying cash flows discounted at our incremental borrowing rates. The fair value of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, classified as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy, is generally determined based on third-party market appraisals which includes market data for similar assets. As of May 25, 2025 and May 26, 2024, adjustments to the fair values of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, classified as Level 2, were not material. The fair value of non-financial assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis, classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy, is determined based on appraisals, sales prices of comparable assets, or estimates of discounted future cash flows. As of May 25, 2025, adjustments to the fair values of non-financial assets specifically right-of-use assets, classified as Level 3, were determined to have a fair value of $8.0 million. As of May 26, 2024, adjustments to the fair values of long-lived assets held and used were determined to have a fair value of $1.5 million.
