Fair Value Measurements

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2016

The fair value of the foreign exchange forward contracts is calculated using standard industry models based on observable forward points and discount curves. The fair values of all derivative instruments are adjusted for credit risk and restrictions and other terms specific to the contracts.

The classification of fair value measurements within the established three-level hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the measurements. There were no transfers between levels for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 or the year ended December 31, 2015. The fair value of the Company's financial instruments which are recorded on a recurring basis at fair value are not material.

Financial instruments, although not recorded at fair value on a recurring basis, include cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and the Company's debt obligations. The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments. Borrowings under the 2012 Credit Agreement and 2016 Credit Agreement are at variable interest rates and accordingly their carrying amounts approximate fair value. The fair values of the following material financial instruments were based on Level 2 inputs estimated using discounted cash flows and market-based expectations for interest rates, credit risk, and the contractual terms of the debt instruments. The fair values of material financial instruments are as follows:
