NOTE 12—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The accounting guidance for fair value measurements establishes a fair value hierarchy that requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring 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. In determining the fair value, we utilize market data or assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, which would maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs to the extent possible, including assumptions about risk and the risks inherent in the inputs of the valuation technique.

Our recurring and non-recurring fair values measurements of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories in accordance with ASC 820—Fair Value Measurements:

Level 1—Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical investments as of the reporting date.

Level 2—Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.

Level 3—Pricing inputs are unobservable for the investment and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the investment. The inputs used in the determination of fair value require significant judgment or estimation.

Fair Value Measurements—Recurring

Amounts reported as cash and equivalents, receivables, and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of activity within these accounts. The estimated fair value of the asset based credit facility approximates cost as the interest rate associated with the facility is variable and resets frequently (Level 2).

The estimated fair value and carrying value of the Term Loan Credit Agreement and the real estate loans were as follows:

(1)The principal carrying values of the Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 represent the outstanding amount under each class and exclude discounts upon original issuance and third-party offering costs. The principal carrying value of the real estate loans represents the outstanding principal balance and excludes debt issuance costs.

The fair values of the Term Loan B and Term Loan B-2 were derived from observable bid prices (Level 1). The fair values of the real estate loans were derived from discounted cash flows using risk-adjusted rates (Level 2).

Fair Value Measurements—Non-Recurring

The fair values of long-lived assets, such as property and equipment and lease right-of-use assets, as discussed in “Impairment—Long-Lived Assets” within Note 3—Significant Accounting Policies, were determined based on unobservable (Level 3) inputs and valuation techniques. Fair values are based on the expected future cash flows of the asset or asset group, using a discount rate commensurate with the related risk. Expected future cash flows are estimated based on the highest and best use of the asset and take into consideration multiple factors, including but not limited to, location-level historical results, current trends, operating cash flow projections and market-based rental rates.
