Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS The carrying values of cash and equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts and notes payable, and revolving credit and variable interest rate debt approximate fair value due to either the short-term nature of such instruments or the fact that the interest rate of the revolving credit and variable rate debt is based upon current market rates. Applicable accounting guidance establishes a fair value hierarchy requiring the Company to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance establishes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:
• | Level 1 inputs are measured and recorded at fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets for identical assets.
• | Level 2 inputs include inputs other than Level 1 that are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as quoted prices in active markets for similar assets and liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of assets or liabilities.
• | Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
The fair values of Griffon’s 2028 senior notes approximated $980,000 on June 30, 2020. Fair values were based upon quoted market prices (level 1 inputs). Insurance contracts with values of $3,324 at June 30, 2020 are measured and recorded at fair value based upon quoted prices in active markets for similar assets (level 2 inputs) and are included in Prepaid and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis At June 30, 2020, trading securities, measured at fair value based on quoted prices in active markets for similar assets (level 2 inputs), with a fair value of $3,028 ($2,365 cost basis), were included in Prepaid and other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in Other income in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). In the normal course of business, Griffon’s operations are exposed to the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. To manage these risks, Griffon may enter into various derivative contracts such as foreign currency exchange contracts, including forwards and options. As of June 30, 2020, Griffon entered into several such contracts in order to lock into a foreign currency rate for planned settlements of trade and inter-company liabilities payable in US dollars. At June 30, 2020, Griffon had $43,500 of Australian dollar contracts at a weighted average rate of $1.46 which qualified for hedge accounting (level 2 inputs). These hedges were all deemed effective as cash flow hedges with gains and losses related to changes in fair value deferred and recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI") and Prepaid and other current assets, or Accrued liabilities, until settlement. Upon settlement, gains and losses are recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) in Cost of goods and services ("COGS"). AOCI included deferred losses of $1,095 ($712, net of tax) at June 30, 2020 and gains of $556 and $1,550 were recorded in COGS during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, for all settled contracts. All contracts expire in 15 to 209 days. At June 30, 2020, Griffon had $3,125 and $3,000 of Canadian and British Pound dollar contracts, respectively, at a weighted average rate of $1.36 and $0.81, respectively. The contracts, which protect Canadian and United Kingdom operations from currency fluctuations for US dollar based purchases, do not qualify for hedge accounting. For the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, fair value losses of $222 and $23 were recorded to Other assets and to Other income for the outstanding contracts, based on similar contract values (level 2 inputs). Realized gains of $115 and $202 were recorded in Other income during the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, for all settled contracts. All contracts expire in 2 to 328 days.
