Fair Value of Financial Instruments

3 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

Fair Value Measurements

We measure our financial assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis using a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Authoritative guidance establishes three levels of the fair value hierarchy as follows:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2: Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and model-derived valuations in which significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3: Fair value measurements derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, money market funds, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses and certain other short-term liabilities approximate fair value due to their high liquidity and short-term nature, and are therefore categorized within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Our money market funds accrue dividends, which are reinvested in the funds, and are reflected in the carrying values of the funds. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the carrying value of our money market funds was $59.9 million and $196.5 million, respectively, which is included in cash and cash equivalents on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Hedging instruments are re-measured on a recurring basis using pricing models, broker quotes, daily market foreign currency rates, and interest rate curves as applicable (see Note 15) and are therefore categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the valuation of our foreign currency forward contracts and interest rate hedge agreements (see Note 15) that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, and are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as of the periods presented (in millions):


	Fair Value		Level 2
March 31, 2024
Foreign currency forward contracts—asset position	$	11.9	$	11.9
Foreign currency forward contracts—liability position	(0.5)		(0.5)
Interest rate hedge agreements—asset position	9.9		9.9

There were no transfers of financial instruments between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Non-recurring Fair Value Measurements

We measure certain long-lived assets, goodwill, non-amortizing intangible assets and investments at fair value on a non-recurring basis, at least annually or more frequently if impairment indicators are present. We did not recognize any impairments on these assets during the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.
