Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments | The Company’s consolidated assets and liabilities measured at fair value are summarized according to the hierarchy previously described as follows:
| June 30, 2017 |  | September 30, 2016
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Fair Value |  | Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Fair Value
Derivative Assets | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2.9 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 2.9 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 8.7 |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 8.7 |
Derivative Liabilities | — |  |  | 10.8 |  |  | — |  |  | 10.8 |  |  | — |  |  | 3.2 |  |  | — |  |  | 3.2 |
See Note 8, “Derivative Financial Instruments” for additional detail. Valuation Methodologies Derivatives Spectrum Brands’ derivative assets and liabilities are valued on a recurring basis using internal models, which are based on market observable inputs including interest rate curves and both forward and spot prices for currencies and commodities, which are generally based on quoted or observed market prices and classified as Level 2. The fair value of certain derivatives is estimated using pricing models based on contracts with similar terms and risks. Modeling techniques assume market correlation and volatility, such as using prices of one delivery point to calculate the price of the contract’s different delivery point. The nominal value of interest rate transactions is discounted using applicable forward interest rate curves. In addition, by applying a credit reserve which is calculated based on credit default swaps or published default probabilities for the actual and potential asset value, the fair value of Spectrum Brands’ derivative assets reflects the risk that the counterparties to these contracts may default on the obligations. Likewise, by assessing the requirements of a reserve for non-performance which is calculated based on the probability of default by Spectrum Brands, it adjusts its derivative liabilities to reflect the price at which a potential market participant would be willing to assume Spectrum Brands’ liabilities. The Company has not changed its valuation techniques in measuring the fair value of any derivative assets and liabilities during the quarter. Non-Recurring Fair Value Measurements Goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets are tested annually or if an event occurs that indicates an impairment loss may have been incurred using fair value measurements with unobservable inputs (Level 3). Financial Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value The carrying amount, estimated fair value and the level of the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s financial instrument assets and liabilities which are not measured at fair value in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets are summarized as follows:
| June 30, 2017
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount
Assets (a) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Asset-based loans, included in other assets | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 1.7 |  |  | $ | 1.7 |  |  | $ | 1.7 |
Liabilities (a) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Total debt (b) | — |  |  | 6,191.3 |  |  | — |  |  | 6,191.3 |  |  | 6,032.5 |
| September 30, 2016
| Level 1 |  | Level 2 |  | Level 3 |  | Fair Value |  | Carrying Amount
Assets (a) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Asset-based loans, included in other assets | $ | — |  |  | $ | — |  |  | $ | 33.3 |  |  | $ | 33.3 |  |  | $ | 33.3 |
Liabilities (a) |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Total debt (b) | — |  |  | 5,700.1 |  |  | 29.9 |  |  | 5,730.0 |  |  | 5,525.8 |
(a) The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued investment income approximate fair value due to their short duration and, accordingly, they are not presented in the tables above. (b) The fair value of debt set forth above is generally based on quoted or observed market prices. Valuation Methodology Asset-based loans The fair value of the asset-based loans originated by Salus approximate their net carrying value. Such loans carry a variable rate that are typically revolving in nature and can be settled at the demand of either party. Nonaccrual loans are considered impaired for reporting purposes and are measured and recorded at fair value on a non-recurring basis. As the loans are collateral dependent, Salus measures such impairment based on the estimated fair value of eligible proceeds. This is generally based on estimated market prices, which may be obtained from a variety of sources, including in certain instances from appraisals prepared by third parties. The impaired loan balance represents those nonaccrual loans for which impairment was recognized during the quarter.
