9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

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


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

Short-term investments	$	0.8	$	—
Foreign currency derivatives	8.0		8.5
Deferred compensation assets	11.3		9.8
	$	20.1	$	18.3
Liabilities
Deferred compensation liabilities	$	11.9	$	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 that mature in December 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:


	September 30, 2023				December 31, 2022
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(in millions)
Long-term debt	$	648.3	$	638.8	$	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.
