Fair Value Measurements Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The accounting standard for fair value measurements establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows: observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets (Level 1); inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are observable either directly or indirectly (Level 2); and unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which requires the Company to develop its own assumptions (Level 3).
A financial instrument's level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The financial instruments measured at fair value in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets consist of the following:

(1) The Company’s interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives and fair value is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows using a model-derived valuation that uses Level 2 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. See Note 9, “Derivatives,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion on the Company’s derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges.
(2) Investments in this category consist primarily of mutual funds whose fair values are determined by reference to the quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. These assets and liabilities represent investments held in a consolidated trust to fund the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan and are recorded in other long-term assets and other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities
The fair value of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, which are Level 1 inputs, approximated its carrying value at September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024. The Company’s cash and cash equivalent balances presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets include $284.5 million and $192.7 million of marketable securities in money market funds as of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, respectively.
Long-term Debt
The Company's long-term debt is carried at amortized cost and is measured at fair value quarterly for disclosure purposes. The estimated fair values are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity of the debt in markets that are not active (Level 2 inputs). The fair value is corroborated by prices derived from the interest rate spreads of recently completed leveraged loan transactions of a similar credit profile, industry, and terms to that of the Company. The fair value of the Senior Notes are determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity in the high-yield bond market (Level 2 inputs). The carrying amount and estimated fair value of long-term debt consists of the following:

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
As of September 30, 2024 and March 31, 2024, the total of our investments that are accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis under the measurement alternative were $52.5 million and $37.4 million, respectively. While these assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., observable price changes or impairment). We did not have any material measurement adjustments during the six months ended September 30, 2024, with the exception of the assets and liabilities acquired through our acquisitions (see Note 5, “Acquisition, Goodwill and Intangible Assets,” to the condensed consolidated financial statements).
