Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value is defined as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or the most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy requires entities to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows: Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. This includes pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The following describes the valuation methodologies used for financial assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis, as well as the general classification within the valuation hierarchy. Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid financial instruments with original maturities of three months or less. The carrying value of these cash equivalents approximates fair value due to their short-term maturities. Other Investment securities in non-qualified retirement plan assets are valued using observable market prices in active markets. Loans receivable were carried at outstanding principal amount. The estimated fair value was determined using an income-based approach, which included market participant expectations of cash flows over the remaining useful life discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The estimate required subjective assumptions to be made, including those related to credit risk and discount rates. The fair values of convertible debt investments are determined using scenario-based internally developed valuation models that consider a probability-weighted assessment of possible future cash flows related to the debt component and the conversion component of the instruments, discounted to present value using an appropriate discount rate. The probability of amendments to federal laws in the United States to allow for the general cultivation, distribution, and possession of cannabis, and the impact of such amendments on the value of the underlying investments are important assumptions in the fair value estimates. The valuation models and related assumptions require significant judgment. These and other assumptions are impacted by economic conditions and expectations of management and may change in the future based on period specific facts and circumstances. Debt Instruments Debt instruments are recorded at cost. The interest rate on borrowings under the Sixth A&R Credit Agreement fluctuates in accordance with the terms of the Sixth A&R Credit Agreement and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The fair values of the 4.000% Senior Notes, 4.375% Senior Notes, 4.500% Senior Notes and 5.250% Senior Notes are determined based on quoted market prices. The interest rate on the short-term debt associated with accounts receivable pledged under the Receivables Facility fluctuated in accordance with the terms of the Receivables Facility and thus the carrying value is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The following table summarizes the fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities for which disclosure of fair value is required:

During fiscal 2023, the Company recognized a non-cash, pre-tax other-than-temporary impairment charge related to its convertible debt investments of $101.3 in the “Impairment, restructuring and other” line in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. This charge was driven by revisions to the Company’s internal forecasts of cash flows expected to be collected from its convertible debt investments resulting from the accumulation of adverse conditions impacting the cannabis market, including both federal and state level regulatory considerations and persistent industry oversupply conditions. The amortized cost basis of convertible debt investments was $225.8 and $222.1 at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2023 and 2022, gross unrealized losses on convertible debt investments were $140.0 and $105.1, respectively, and there were no gross unrealized gains. These investments have been in a continuous unrealized loss position for greater than 12 months as of September 30, 2023. The allowance for expected credit losses was $101.3 and $0.0 at September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. At September 30, 2023, the period until scheduled maturity of the Company’s convertible debt investments was between 3.9 years and 6.0 years. Credit losses on convertible debt investments are measured based on the present value of expected future cash flows compared to amortized cost. Impairment losses are recognized through an allowance and recoveries of previously impaired amounts are recorded as an immediate reversal of all or a portion of the allowance. In addition, the allowance for expected credit losses cannot cause the amortized cost net of the allowance to be below fair value. A progression of the allowance for expected credit losses on convertible debt investments is shown below:
| Year Ended September 30, 2023
Balance at beginning of year | $ | — |
Provision for expected credit losses on securities with no previous allowance | 101.3 |
Balance at end of year | $ | 101.3 |
