FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT

6 Months Ended

Aug. 02, 2020

Fair value is defined 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. Fair value measurements are made using a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value:

•Level 1 - defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

•Level 2 - defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and

•Level 3 - defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis

The fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety by reference to its lowest level of significant input. As of August 2, 2020 and February 2, 2020, the Company held certain assets and liabilities that are required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis:


	August 2, 2020		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Balance Sheet Classification
	(In thousands)
Money market funds	$	179,151	$	179,151	$	—	$	—	Cash and cash equivalents

Term deposits	70,136		—		70,136		—		Cash and cash equivalents
Forward currency contract assets	6,513		—		6,513		—		Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Forward currency contract liabilities	6,559		—		6,559		—		Other current liabilities


	February 2, 2020		Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Balance Sheet Classification
	(In thousands)
Money market funds	$	610,800	$	610,800	$	—	$	—	Cash and cash equivalents

Term deposits	203,360		—		203,360		—		Cash and cash equivalents
Forward currency contract assets	1,735		—		1,735		—		Prepaid expenses and other current assets
Forward currency contract liabilities	1,920		—		1,920		—		Other current liabilities

The Company records accounts receivable, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities at cost. The carrying values of these instruments approximate their fair value due to their short-term maturities.

The Company has short-term, highly liquid investments classified as cash equivalents, which are invested in money market funds, Treasury bills, and term deposits. The Company records cash equivalents at their original purchase prices plus interest that has accrued at the stated rate.

The fair values of the forward currency contract assets and liabilities are determined using observable Level 2 inputs, including foreign currency spot exchange rates, forward pricing curves, and interest rates. The fair values consider the credit risk of the Company and its counterparties. The Company's Master International Swap Dealers Association, Inc., Agreements and other similar arrangements allow net settlements under certain conditions. However, the Company records all derivatives on its consolidated balance sheets at fair value and does not offset derivative assets and liabilities.
