Equity Method Investments
The Company’s equity method investments include investments in two venture capital funds that are considered related parties. The carrying value of these funds included in the table above as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 was $253 million and $178 million, respectively. The Company’s unfunded capital commitments as a limited partner in these funds at June 30, 2026 was $247 million.
Other Investments - Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements
As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the total of our investments that are accounted for at fair value on a non-recurring basis under the measurement alternative were $178 million and $146 million, respectively. While these assets are not measured at fair value on an ongoing basis, they are subject to fair value adjustments in certain circumstances (e.g., observable price changes or impairment). Cumulative fair value adjustments on these investments through June 30, 2026 were $51 million.

The Company did not have any Level 3 assets or liabilities as of June 30, 2026 or March 31, 2026.
Derivatives
The Company utilizes interest rate derivative financial instruments, which were designated as cash flow hedges, to manage its exposure to interest rate risk related to its variable rate debt and reducing volatility of interest expense as the variable-to-fixed interest rate swaps effectively convert a portion of the variable rate debt into fixed interest rate debt. As of June 30, 2026, the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps have a total notional amount of $200 million and mature on June 30, 2027.
The Company’s interest rate swaps are considered over-the-counter derivatives which are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet on a gross basis at estimated fair value. Fair value is estimated based on the present value of future cash flows using a model-derived valuation that uses Level 2 observable inputs such as interest rate yield curves. The changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI, net of taxes, and are subsequently reclassified into interest expense, net in the period that the hedged forecasted interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that approximately $1 million will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense. Cash flows associated with periodic settlements of interest rate swaps are classified as operating activities in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows.
Deferred Compensation Plans
Investments in this category consist primarily of mutual funds whose fair values are determined by reference to the quoted market price per unit in active markets multiplied by the number of units held without consideration of transaction costs. These assets are recorded in other long-term assets and represent investments held in a consolidated trust to fund the Company's non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which is recorded in other long-term liabilities on our condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
As of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the Company's cash and cash equivalents presented on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets include the money market funds disclosed in the table above. As of both June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026, the fair value of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents approximated its carrying value.
Long-term Debt
The Company's long-term debt is carried at amortized cost and fair value is disclosed on a quarterly basis. The estimated fair value of debt is determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity of the debt in markets that are not active (Level 2 inputs). The fair value is corroborated by prices derived from the interest rate spreads of recently completed leveraged loan transactions of a similar credit profile, industry, and terms to that of the Company. The fair value of the Senior Notes is determined using quoted prices or other market information obtained from recent trading activity in the high-yield bond market (Level 2 inputs). The estimated fair value of long-term debt as of June 30, 2026 and March 31, 2026 was $3,922 million and $3,937 million, respectively.
