Fair Value Measurements

6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2018

Fair value is the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or paid upon transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and in the principal or most advantageous market for that asset or liability. Assets and liabilities are classified using a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Unadjusted quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.

Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or unobservable inputs corroborated by market data.

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting management’s estimates and assumptions.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate fair value due to their short-term nature. Fair value of debt is determined on a non-recurring basis, which results are summarized as follows (in thousands):



	Fair Value Hierarchy	June 30, 2018				December 30, 2017
	Fair Value Hierarchy	Carrying Value⁽²⁾		Fair Value ⁽¹⁾		Carrying Value⁽²⁾		Fair Value ⁽¹⁾
Senior Secured Credit Facility:
Term loan facility	Level 2	$	97,500	$	97,500	$	64,750	$	64,750
Revolving credit facility	Level 2	$	122,608	$	122,608	$	69,000	$	69,000

⁽¹⁾ The fair value of long-term debt was estimated using available market information.

⁽²⁾ Excluding issuance costs netted on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

The Company also measures certain non-financial assets at fair value on a non-recurring basis, primarily long-lived assets, intangible assets and goodwill, in connection with its periodic evaluations of such assets for potential impairment.
