(in millions) | Fair Value Hierarchy |  | 2024 |  | 2023
Cash and cash equivalents(1) | 1 |  | $ | 64.6 |  |  | $ | 69.5 |
Insurance deposits(2) | 1 |  | 2.3 |  |  | 3.1 |

(1) Cash and cash equivalents are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value. (2) Represents restricted deposits that are used to collateralize our insurance obligations and are stated at nominal value, which equals fair value. These insurance deposits are included in “Other noncurrent assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 10, “Insurance,” for further information. (3) Represents investments held in Rabbi trusts associated with one of our deferred compensation plans, which we include in “Other noncurrent assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the assets held in the funded deferred compensation plan is based on quoted market prices. See Note 12, “Employee Benefit Plans,” for further information. (4) Represents gross outstanding borrowings under our Amended Credit Facility. Due to variable interest rates, the carrying value of outstanding borrowings under our line of credit and term loan approximates the fair value. See Note 11, “Credit Facility,” for further information. (5) Represents interest rate swap derivatives designated as cash flow hedges. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are estimated based on the present value of the difference between expected cash flows calculated at the contracted interest rates and the expected cash flows at current market interest rates using observable benchmarks for the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) forward rates at the end of the period. At October 31, 2024 and 2023, our interest rate swap assets are included in “Other noncurrent assets” on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. See Note 11, “Credit Facility,” for further information. (6 Our investments do not have a readily determinable fair value; therefore, we account for the investments using the measurement alternative under Topic 321 and measure the investments at initial cost plus or minus fair value adjustments if there are observable prices minus impairment, if any. (7) At October 31, 2024, our contingent consideration payable related to the RavenVolt Acquisition is recorded at fair value as a liability on the acquisition date and is remeasured at each reporting date, based on significant inputs not observable in the market, which represents a Level 3 measurement within the fair value hierarchy. After the acquisition date and until the contingency is resolved, the fair value of contingent consideration payable is adjusted each reporting period based primarily on the expected probability of achievement of the contingency targets which are subject to our estimate. These changes in fair value are recognized within “Selling, general and administrative expenses” of the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. See Note 3, “Acquisitions,” for further information. There were no transfers to or from Level 3 financial assets or liabilities during 2024 and 2023. At October 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no financial assets recorded at fair value using Level 3 inputs. Non-Financial Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis In addition to assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we are also required to measure certain items at fair value on a non-recurring basis. These assets can include: goodwill; intangible assets; property, plant and equipment; lease-related ROU assets; and long-lived assets that have been reduced to fair value when they are held for sale. If certain triggering events occur or if an annual impairment test is required, we would evaluate these non-financial assets for impairment. If an impairment were to occur, the asset would be recorded at the estimated fair value, using primarily unobservable Level 3 inputs.
