Fair Value Measurement

12 Months Ended

Dec. 31, 2019

Financial instruments are required to be categorized within a valuation hierarchy based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value are measured and classified in accordance with a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the observability of the inputs available in the market used to measure fair value:


▪	Level 1 — Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

▪

Level 2 — Inputs that are based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant inputs are observable in the market or can be derived from observable market data. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and credit ratings.


▪	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activities.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents (primarily consisting of bank deposits), accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018. The carrying value of borrowings under the credit facilities approximates fair value due to the variable interest rates associated with those borrowings.

The following table provides the carrying amounts, estimated fair values and the respective fair value measurements of the Company's financial instruments as of December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018:
