Fair Value Measurements |
The Company uses the accounting guidance that applies to all assets and liabilities that are being measured and reported on a fair value basis. The guidance defines fair value as 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 guidance also establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
The accounting guidance establishes a hierarchy which requires an entity to maximize the use of quoted market prices and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. An asset or liability’s level is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
The following tables set forth the Company’s financial assets and liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis during the period, by level, within the fair value hierarchy:
Trading securities are valued using quoted prices on an active exchange. Trading securities represent assets held in a Rabbi Trust to fund deferred compensation liabilities and are included as restricted investments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For the Successor period from June 30, 2014 through December 31, 2014, the unrealized gains on these securities of $43 were recorded as other income. The unrealized gains on these securities of $95, $364, and $329 were recorded as other income by the Predecessor for the six months period ended June 29 and years ended December 31, 2013, and 2012, respectively. An offsetting entry for the same amount, increasing the deferred compensation liability and compensation expense within SG&A, was also recorded for the corresponding periods. The Company utilizes interest rate cap and interest rate swap contracts to manage our targeted mix of fixed and floating rate debt, and these contracts are valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals for the full term of the cap and swap contracts. As of December 31, 2014, the interest rate swaps were included in other non-current liabilities on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2014 the interest rate caps had expired and had no value. As of December 31, 2013 the interest rate caps were included in other current assets on the accompanying consolidated balance sheet. The Company utilizes foreign exchange forward contracts to manage our exposure to currency fluctuations in the Canadian dollar versus the U.S. dollar. The forward contracts were valued using observable benchmark rates at commonly quoted intervals during the term of the forward contract. The foreign exchange forward contracts were included in other current assets as of December 31, 2014 and other current liabilities as of December 31, 2013 on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The fair value of the Company’s fixed rate senior notes and junior subordinated debentures as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 were determined by utilizing current trading prices obtained from indicative market data. As a result, the fair value measurement of the Company’s senior term loans is considered to be Level 2.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and accounts payable approximate fair value because of the short term maturity of these instruments and the carrying value of the variable rate senior term loans approximates fair value as the interest rate is variable and approximates current market rates. Additional information with respect to the derivative instruments is included in Note 15 – Derivatives and Hedging. Additional information with respect to the Company’s fixed rate senior notes and junior subordinated debentures is included in Note 9 – Long-Term Debt. |
