The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value.

Money Market Funds — The Company’s investment in money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents hold underlying investments with a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuations of these securities are based on quoted prices for identical assets in active markets, when available, or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable, can be derived from, or can be corroborated by, observable market data. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses money market fund liquidity on a quarterly basis. As of May 2, 2025, the Company’s portfolio had no material exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.

Marketable Equity and Other Securities — The Company’s investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly-traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.

Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist primarily of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of the portfolio is determined using valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies, and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the fair value calculation of the Company’s derivative financial instrument portfolio. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s derivative financial instrument activities.

Deferred Compensation Plans — The Company offers deferred compensation plans for eligible employees which allow participants to defer a portion of their compensation. Assets and liabilities associated with the plans are measured at fair value using Level 1 inputs. Assets were the same as liabilities associated with the plans at approximately $238 million and $244 million as of May 2, 2025 and January 31, 2025, respectively, and are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The net impact on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is not material since changes in the fair value of the assets substantially offset changes in the fair value of the liabilities. As such, assets and liabilities associated with these plans have not been included in the recurring fair value table above.
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the recurring fair value table above. These assets consist primarily of financial assets such as the Company’s strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities and non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets.

Strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities and certain non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets are measured at fair value only if they are deemed to be impaired or when there is an adjustment from observable price changes in the current period. If measured at fair value in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position, these securities would generally be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. See Note 3 and Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s investments and goodwill and intangible assets, respectively.

Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt — The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:
May 2, 2025January 31, 2025
Carrying ValueFair ValueCarrying ValueFair Value
(in billions)
Senior Notes$18.9 $18.9 $15.0 $15.0 
Legacy Notes$0.9 $1.0 $0.9 $1.0 
DFS Debt$8.9 $8.7 $8.7 $8.5 

The fair values of the outstanding debt shown in the table above were determined based on observable market prices in a less active market or based on valuation methodologies using observable inputs and were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.
