Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

(9) Fair Value Measurements

Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures ("ASC 820"), establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 establishes a three-level hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value. The valuation hierarchy is based upon the transparency of inputs to the valuation of an asset or liability on the measurement date.

Level 1

Inputs based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

Level 2

Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3

Inputs that are unobservable for the asset.

There were no transfers among levels within the fair value hierarchy during the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2021.

The following table presents the fair values for our financial assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis:


		Fair Value Measurements
		Level		March 30, 2021			December 29, 2020
Deferred compensation plan—assets		1		$	58,605		$	55,633
Deferred compensation plan—liabilities		1		$	(58,528)		$	(55,614)

The Second Amended and Restated Deferred Compensation Plan of Texas Roadhouse Management Corp (as amended, the "Deferred Compensation Plan") is a nonqualified deferred compensation plan which allows highly compensated employees to defer receipt of a portion of their compensation and contribute such amounts to one or more investment funds held in a rabbi trust. We report the amounts of the rabbi trust in other assets and the corresponding liability in other liabilities in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. These investments are considered trading securities and are reported at fair value based on quoted market prices. The realized and unrealized holding gains and losses related to these investments, as well as the offsetting compensation expense, are recorded in general and administrative expense in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

The following table presents the fair value of our assets measured on a nonrecurring basis:


		Fair Value Measurements								Total loss
										13 Weeks Ended
				March 30,			December 29,			March 30,			March 31,
		Level		2021			2020			2021			2020
Long-lived assets held for sale		3		$	1,175		$	1,645		$	(470)		$	—
Goodwill		3		$	—		$	2,625		$	—		$	—
Investments in unconsolidated affiliates		3		$	1,000		$	1,531		$	(531)		$	(528)

Long-lived assets held for sale include land and building at a site that was relocated. These assets are included in prepaid expenses and other current assets in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. These assets are valued using a Level 3 input, i.e., information from broker listings discounted for estimated selling costs. This resulted in a loss of $0.5 million which is included in impairment and closure, net in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2021.

Goodwill includes two restaurants whose carrying values were determined to be in excess of their fair values as part of our most recent annual goodwill impairment assessment. In determining the fair value, multiple valuation approaches were utilized which considered the historical results and anticipated future trends of operations for these restaurants. We consider this a Level 3 input.

Investments in unconsolidated affiliates include a 40% equity interest in a China joint venture that was reduced to fair value. This asset is valued using a Level 3 input, i.e., the amount we expect to receive upon the sale of this investment. This resulted in a loss of $0.5 million which is included in equity loss from investments in unconsolidated affiliates in our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 2021.

At March 30, 2021 and December 29, 2020, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values based on the short-term nature of these instruments. At March 30, 2021 and December 29, 2020, the fair value of our revolving credit facility approximated its carrying value since it is a variable rate credit facility (Level 2).
