6 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2023

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis are summarized as follows:


	Fair Value Measurements as of
	June 30, 2023		December 31, 2022
	(in millions)
Assets

Short-term investments	$	35.8	$	—
Foreign currency derivatives	5.5		8.5
Deferred compensation assets	10.8		9.8
	$	52.1	$	18.3
Liabilities
Deferred compensation liabilities	$	11.5	$	10.3

Our deferred compensation assets and liabilities are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy because they are valued using quoted market prices. Our foreign currency derivatives and short-term investments are classified as Level 2 since their value is calculated based upon observable inputs including market USD/Euro exchange rates and market interest rates. Our short-term investments represent certificates of deposits acquired in the first six months of 2023 with a maturity date in July 2023.

The carrying values of our significant financial instruments reflected in the Consolidated Balance Sheets approximated their respective fair values except for the following instruments:


	June 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(in millions)
Long-term debt	$	783.2	$	777.5	$	790.7	$	788.8

The fair values for long-term debt are based on quoted market prices for identical liabilities, but these are considered Level 2 computations because the market is not active.
