Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurement | Fair Value Measurement Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Accounting standards utilize a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels, which are described below: •Level 1 – Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets; •Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability; •Level 3 – Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity. These levels are not necessarily an indication of the risk of liquidity associated with the financial assets or liabilities disclosed. Assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement, as required under ASC 820-10, “Fair Value Measurement.” Derivative instruments Laureate uses derivative instruments as economic hedges for bank debt, foreign exchange fluctuations and interest rate risk. Their values are derived using valuation models commonly used for derivatives. These valuation models require a variety of inputs, including contractual terms, market prices, forward-price yield curves, notional quantities, measures of volatility and correlations of such inputs. Our valuation models also reflect measurements for credit risk. Laureate concluded that the fair values of our derivatives are based on unobservable inputs, or Level 3 assumptions. The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the Company's derivative instruments is our own credit risk. Holding other inputs constant, a significant increase (decrease) in our own credit risk would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement for the Company's derivative instruments. Laureate’s financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2020 were as follows:
| Total |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3
Assets |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Derivative instruments | $ | 802 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 802 |
As of December 31, 2019, Laureate did not hold any financial assets or liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The changes in our Level 3 Derivative instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were as follows:
Balance at December 31, 2019 | $ | — |
Gain included in earnings: |
Unrealized gain, net | 802 |
Balance at March 31, 2020 | $ | 802 |
The following table presents quantitative information regarding the significant unobservable inputs and valuation techniques utilized in the fair value measurements of the Company's assets/(liabilities) classified as Level 3 as of March 31, 2020:
| Fair Value at March 31, 2020 |  | Valuation Technique |  | Unobservable Input |  | Range/Input Value
