NOTE 5 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The fair value measurements and disclosure principles of GAAP (ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures”) define fair value, establish a framework for measuring fair value and provide disclosure requirements about fair value measurements. These principles define a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1 — Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, and inputs (other than quoted prices) that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs in which little or no market activity exists.

The Company’s financial instruments that are not reflected at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets were as follows as of November 1, 2020 and February 2, 2020 (amounts in millions):


	As of November 1,2020				As of February 2, 2020
	Recorded		Estimated		Recorded		Estimated
	Amount⁽¹⁾		Fair Value		Amount⁽¹⁾		Fair Value
Senior ABL Facility	$	—	$	—	$	260.3	$	260.0
Term Loans and Notes		1,274.3		1,308.2		1,806.6		1,862.0
Total	$	1,274.3	$	1,308.2	$	2,066.9	$	2,122.0

(1)	These amounts do not include accrued interest; accrued interest is classified as Other current liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts do not include any related discounts, premiums, or deferred financing costs.

The Company utilized Level 2 inputs, as defined in the fair value hierarchy, to measure the fair value of the long-term debt. Management’s fair value estimates were based on quoted prices for recent trades of HDS’s long-term debt, recent similar credit facilities initiated by companies with like credit quality in similar industries, quoted prices for similar instruments, and inquiries with certain investment communities.
