FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Factors used in determining the fair value of financial assets and liabilities are summarized into three broad categories:


•	Level 1 - observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) in active liquid markets for identical securities as of the reporting date;


•	Level 2 - other significant directly or indirectly observable inputs, including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds and credit risk; or observable market prices in markets with insufficient volume and/or infrequent transactions; and


•	Level 3 - significant inputs that are generally unobservable inputs for which there is little or no market data available, including our own assumptions in determining fair value.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis were as follows (in thousands):

We did not have any liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

For our assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis, we recognize transfers between levels at the actual date of the event or change in circumstance that caused the transfer. There were no transfers between levels during the six months ended June 30, 2019, nor for the year ended December 31, 2018.

We did not have any changes to our valuation techniques during the six months ended June 30, 2019, nor for the year ended December 31, 2018.

We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale and, accordingly, record them at fair value. Level 1 investment valuations are obtained from real-time quotes for transactions in active exchange markets involving identical assets. Level 2 investment valuations are obtained from inputs, other than quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets, that are directly or indirectly observable in the marketplace and quoted prices in markets with limited volume or infrequent transactions. The factors or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. Unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from earnings and are reported net of tax in comprehensive income until realized.

The fair values of our interest rate swap contract and our foreign currency forward contracts are calculated as the present value of estimated future cash flows using discount factors derived from relevant Level 2 market inputs, including forward curves and volatility levels.

We recognize or disclose the fair value of certain assets, such as non-financial assets, primarily property, plant and equipment, goodwill, other intangible assets and certain other long-lived assets in connection with impairment evaluations. All of our nonrecurring valuations use significant unobservable inputs and therefore fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

ASC 350 — Intangibles — Goodwill and Other, requires us to make significant assumptions and estimates about the extent and timing of future cash flows, discount rates, growth rates and terminal value. The cash flows are estimated over a significant future period of time, which makes those estimates and assumptions subject to an even higher degree of uncertainty. We also use market valuation models and other financial ratios, which require us to make certain assumptions and estimates regarding the applicability of those models to our assets and businesses.

We perform a goodwill and indefinite-lived asset impairment evaluation during the fourth quarter of each year. However, as a result of the decline in our market value relative to the market and our industry, identified as a triggering event, we performed an interim Step 1 evaluation and a market capitalization reconciliation during the second quarter of 2019.

The goodwill evaluation was performed using a quantitative assessment at each reporting unit level and we determined that is was more-likely-than-not that the fair value of goodwill assigned to our reporting units was less than the carrying amount. We assigned assets and liabilities to each reporting unit based on either specific identification or by using judgment for the remaining assets and liabilities that are not specific to a reporting unit. We determined the fair value of our reporting units in Step 1 of the ASC 350 analysis using the income approach and the market approach. In addition, we determined the fair value by adding a control premium observed from recent transactions of comparable companies to determine the reasonableness of that assumption and the fair values of the reporting units estimated in Step 1. Significant unobservable inputs and assumptions inherent in the valuation methodologies from Level 3 inputs were employed and include, but were not limited to, prospective financial information, growth rates, terminal value, royalty rates, discount rates, and comparable multiples from publicly traded companies in our industry. We compared the carrying amount of each reporting unit to its respective fair value. We reconciled the aggregate fair values of the reporting units determined in Step 1 (as described above) to the enterprise market capitalization plus a reasonable control premium. We determined both reporting units were impaired and recorded a $63.5 million non-cash goodwill impairment.

The indefinite-lived intangible assets evaluation was performed using the relief from royalty method during the second quarter of 2019. This analysis was based on the estimated future cash flows generated for each separate brand/trademark. We compared the carrying amount to the estimated fair values. Based on our evaluation, the Octane trademark with a carrying value of $14.2 million was written down to its fair value of $5.7 million, resulting in a $8.5 million non-cash intangible asset impairment.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no assets or liabilities that were recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, prepaids and other current assets, trade payables and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to their short maturities. The carrying value of our term loan approximates its fair value and falls under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the interest rate is variable and based on current market rates.
