FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

9 Months Ended

Sep. 28, 2019

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures (“ASC 820”), establishes a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value into three broad levels as follows:

•Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•Level 2 — Inputs, other than quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly.

•Level 3 — Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions.

ASC 820 requires the use of observable market data if such data is available without undue cost and effort.

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 28, 2019 (in thousands):



	Fair Value at September 28, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:
Forward contracts	$	—	$	9,756	$	—	$	9,756
Deferred compensation plan assets:

The following table presents the fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 29, 2018 (in thousands):



	Fair Value at December 29, 2018
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
Assets:

The fair values of the Company’s deferred compensation plan assets are based on quoted prices. The deferred compensation plan assets are recorded in intangible and other assets-net in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. The fair values of the Company’s forward contracts are based on published quotations of spot currency rates and forward points, which are converted into implied forward currency rates. See “Note 10—Derivatives and Risk Management” for additional disclosures about the forward contracts.

The fair value of the Company's debt approximated its carrying amount as of September 28, 2019 and as of December 29, 2018. The fair value of debt was based on observable market inputs.

The fair value of trade names are measured on a non-recurring basis using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows, discount rates and implied royalty rates. During the Third Quarter, the SKAGEN trade name with a carrying amount of $21.1 million was written down to its implied fair value of $4.5 million, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $16.6 million. The trade name impairment charge was recorded in the Corporate cost area.

During the Year to Date Period, operating lease assets with a carrying amount of $10.0 million and property, plant and equipment-net with a carrying amount of $1.4 million related to retail store leasehold improvements, fixturing and shop-in-shops were written down to a fair value of $5.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, resulting in impairment charges of $5.6 million.

The fair values of fixed assets related to Company-owned retail stores and operating lease assets were determined using Level 3 inputs, including forecasted cash flows and discount rates. Of the $5.6 million impairment expense, $3.2 million, $0.6 million and $0.2 million was recorded in SG&A in the Europe, Americas and Asia segment, respectively, and $1.3 million and $0.3 million was recorded in restructuring charges in the Americas and Europe segment, respectively.

The fair value of the contingent consideration liability related to Fossil South Africa was determined using Level 3 inputs. See "Note 6—Stockholders' Equity" for additional disclosures about the equity transaction. The contingent consideration is

based on Fossil South Africa's projected earnings and dividends through fiscal year 2020 with the final payments expected the following year. A discount rate of 14% was used to calculate the present value of the contingent consideration. The present value of the contingent consideration liability was valued at $1.2 million as of September 28, 2019.
