Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the exit price, or the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. The authoritative guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value that maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizes the use of unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are from sources independent of the Company. Unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about the factors market participants would use in valuing the asset or liability, developed based upon the best information available in the circumstances. The categorization of financial assets and liabilities within the valuation hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The hierarchy is broken down into three levels:
The fair value of the amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility approximated carrying value at June 30, 2019. The fair values of the revolving credit facility and Series A Notes were estimated based on internally developed models, using current market interest rate data for similar issues, as there is no active market for our revolving credit facility or Series A Notes.
Derivative instruments
The Company has hedging programs in place to manage its currency exposures. The objectives of our hedging programs are to mitigate exposures in gross margin and non-functional-currency-denominated assets and liabilities. Under these programs, we use derivative financial instruments to manage the economic impact of fluctuations in currency exchange rates. These include foreign currency exchange forward contracts, which generally have terms up to 24 months. Additionally, the Company has derivative instruments in place to hedge the interest rate associated with $150.0 of ten-year, fixed-rate financing we expect to issue in the future. These derivative instruments terminate in December 2020, if not settled earlier in connection with the underlying expected future financing. Our primary objectives in using these derivatives are to reduce volatility in future interest expense and to manage our exposure to interest rate movements.
The fair values of the Company’s derivative instruments were based upon pricing models using inputs derived from third-party pricing services or observable market data such as currency spot and forward rates. These values are periodically validated by comparing to third-party broker quotes. The aggregate notional value of derivatives was $306.8 at June 30, 2019. The derivatives are included at fair value in Other current assets, Other current liabilities, and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.
