Fair Value Measurements
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
Our financial instruments consist of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and debt instruments. We believe that the carrying values of these instruments on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets approximate their fair values.
 
As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, we believe the carrying value of our floating-rate debt outstanding under our term loans and revolving credit facilities approximates fair value because the terms include short-term interest rates and exclude penalties for prepayment. We estimated the fair value of our floating-rate term loan and revolving credit facilities using significant other observable inputs, representative of a Level 2 fair value measurement, including terms and credit spreads for these loans.
 
During our first quarter of 2020 and the second and fourth quarter of 2019, we wrote down certain long-lived assets to fair value. We also recorded goodwill impairment charges related to one of our reporting units during the first quarter of 2020 and one of our reporting units during the fourth quarter of 2019. Our estimates of fair value required us to use significant unobservable inputs, representative of Level 3 fair value measurements, including numerous assumptions with respect to future circumstances that might directly impact each of the relevant asset groups’ operations in the future and are therefore uncertain. We estimated the fair value when conducting the goodwill impairment and long-lived asset impairment tests primarily using an income approach. The discount rates used to value our reporting units for the interim goodwill impairment test, as well as the Canadian and U.S. segments long-lived asset impairment analysis ranged between 10.5% and 14.0%. These assumptions with respect to future circumstances included future cash flows, oil, met coal and natural gas prices, anticipated spending by our customers, the cost of capital, and industry and/or local market conditions. During the fourth quarter of 2019, our estimate of fair value of corporate office space in Canada was based on an appraisal from a third party. See Note 6 – Impairment Charges for further information.
 
During the third quarter of 2019, we acquired Action Industrial Catering (Action) and recorded the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at fair value. Determining the fair value of these assets and liabilities required the exercise of significant judgment, including the amount and timing of expected future cash flows, long-term growth rates and discount rates. The cash flows employed in the valuation are based on our best estimates of future sales, earnings and cash flows after considering factors such as general market conditions, expected future customer orders, contracts with suppliers, labor costs, changes in working capital, long term business plans and recent operating performance.
