Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Abstract]

Cash and Cash Equivalents and restricted cash include cash on hand, deposits with financial institutions and highly liquid investments with original maturities of less than 90 days. The Company's Cash and Cash Equivalents and restricted cash are considered Level 1 fair value measurements as they are valued using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.

The following table provides a summary of the principal value and estimated fair value of outstanding publicly traded debt as of July 31, 2021, January 30, 2021 and August 1, 2020:


	July 31, 2021		January 30, 2021		August 1, 2020
	(in millions)
Principal Value	$	5,414	$	6,449	$	6,708
Fair Value, Estimated (a)	6,581		7,243		6,692

_______________

(a)The estimated fair value of the Company’s publicly traded debt is based on reported transaction prices, which are considered Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

As of July 31, 2021, the fair value of the Victoria's Secret & Co. Notes approximated its principal value. The estimated fair value is based on reported transaction prices, which are considered Level 2 inputs in accordance with ASC 820. This estimate is not necessarily indicative of the amount that the Company could realize in a current market exchange.

Management believes that the carrying values of accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value because of their short maturity.
