7.	Fair Value Measurements

The carrying values reported in the condensed consolidated balance sheets for cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the immediate or short-term maturity of these financial instruments.

The Company's debt agreements are not traded on an active market. The Company has determined the estimated fair value of its debt to be Level 3, as certain inputs used to determine the fair value of these agreements are unobservable and, therefore, could be sensitive to changes in inputs. The Company utilizes the discounted cash flow method to estimate the fair value of Level 3 debt.

The carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company's long-term debt, including current maturities, were as follows (in millions):

	March 31, 2020				September 30, 2019
	Carrying		Fair		Carrying		Fair
	Value		Value		Value		Value
Long-term debt and financing leases, including current maturities(1)	$	802.0	$	815.5	$	858.1	$	882.7

⁽¹⁾	Current and prior period long-term debts' carrying and fair values exclude net debt issuance costs.
