3. FAIR VALUE
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market
participants at the measurement date. The inputs used to measure fair value are prioritized based on a three-level hierarchy. The
three levels of inputs to measure fair value are as follows:
• Level 1—inputs are unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities that are available in active markets that the
Company can access at the measurement date.
• Level 2—inputs are other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for assets or liabilities,
directly or indirectly.
• Level 3—inputs to the valuation methodology are unobservable.
The lowest level of significant input determines the placement of the entire fair value measurement in the hierarchy. The three
levels of the hierarchy and the distribution within it of the Company’s assets and liabilities, measured at fair value on a recurring
basis, were as follows:
Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value as of January 30, 2016
(in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:
Money market funds $ 311,349 $ — $ — $ 311,349
Derivative financial instruments — 4,166 — 4,166
Total assets measured at fair value $ 311,349 $ 4,166 $ — $ 315,515
Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value as of January 31, 2015
(in thousands) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets:
Money market funds $ 122,047 $ — $ — $ 122,047
Derivative financial instruments — 10,293 — 10,293
Total assets measured at fair value $ 122,047 $ 10,293 $ — $ 132,340
The level 2 assets and liabilities consist of derivative financial instruments, primarily forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
The fair value of forward foreign currency exchange contracts is determined by using quoted market prices of the same or similar
instruments, adjusted for counterparty risk.
Disclosures of Fair Value of Other Assets and Liabilities:
The Company’s borrowings under the Company's credit facilities are carried at historical cost in the accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheets. For disclosure purposes, the Company estimated the fair value of borrowings outstanding based on market rates
for similar types of debt. The inputs used to value the borrowings outstanding are considered to be Level 2 instruments.
The carrying amount and fair value of the Company's term loan facility were as follows:
(in thousands) January 30, 2016 January 31, 2015
Gross borrowings outstanding, carrying amount $ 293,250 $ 299,250
Gross borrowings outstanding, fair value $ 284,453 $ 295,135
No borrowings were outstanding under the Company's asset-based revolving credit facility as of January 30, 2016 and January 31,
2015. See Note 11, "BORROWINGS," for further discussion of the Company's credit facilities.
