Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurements | Note 5 Fair Value Measurements Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and long-term debt. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short-term maturities of these financial instruments. At April 19, 2014 and December 28, 2013 the estimated fair value and the book value of our debt instruments were as follows:
(In thousands) |  | April 19, 2014 |  |  | December 28, 2013 |
Book value of debt instruments: |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
Current maturities of long-term debt and capital lease obligations |  | $ | 7,258 |  |  | $ | 7,345 |
Long-term debt and capital lease obligations |  |  | 597,822 |  |  |  | 597,563 |
Total book value of debt instruments |  |  | 605,080 |  |  |  | 604,908 |
Fair value of debt instruments |  |  | 609,341 |  |  |  | 608,926 |
Excess of fair value over book value |  | $ | 4,261 |  |  | $ | 4,018 |
The estimated fair value of debt is based on market quotes for instruments with similar terms and remaining maturities (level 2 valuation technique). ASC 820 prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into the following hierarchy: Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, reflecting the reporting entity’s own assumptions about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing. Long-lived assets totaling $0.9 million and $2.4 million in the 16 week periods ended April 19, 2014 and April 27, 2013, respectively, were measured at a fair value of $0.0 million and $1.2 million, respectively, on a nonrecurring basis using Level 3 inputs as defined in the fair value hierarchy. Our accounting and finance team management, who report to the chief financial officer, determine our valuation policies and procedures. The development and determination of the unobservable inputs for level 3 fair value measurements and fair value calculations are the responsibility of our accounting and finance team management and are approved by the chief financial officer. Fair value of long-lived assets is determined by estimating the amount and timing of net future cash flows, discounted using a risk-adjusted rate of interest. SpartanNash estimates future cash flows based on experience and knowledge of the market in which the assets are located, and when necessary, uses real estate brokers. See Note 4 for discussion of long-lived asset impairment charges.
