Fair Value Measurement

12 Months Ended

Jun. 30, 2016

Accounting standards define fair value 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. Specifically, it establishes a hierarchy prioritizing the use of inputs in valuation techniques. The defined levels within the hierarchy are as follows:


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


• Level 2	Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly

observable;


• Level 3	Assets or liabilities for which fair value is based on valuation models with significant unobservable

pricing inputs and which result in the use of management estimates.

The following table sets forth the carrying value and the estimated fair value of the Company's financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



	June 30, 2016				June 30, 2015
(In thousands)	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Broadcast rights payable	$	10,173	$	9,655	$	7,774	$	7,490
Long-term debt	695,000		695,533		795,000		797,121

The fair value of broadcast rights payable was determined using the present value of expected future cash flows discounted at the Company's current borrowing rate with inputs included in Level 3. The fair value of long-term debt was determined using the present value of expected future cash flows using borrowing rates currently available for debt with similar terms and maturities with inputs included in Level 2.

As of June 30, 2016, the Company had assets related to its qualified pension plans measured at fair value. The required disclosures regarding such assets are presented within Note 8. In addition, the Company has liabilities related to contingent consideration payables that are valued at estimated fair value as discussed in Note 2 and interest rate swaps discussed in Note 6. In fiscal 2016, the Company committed to a plan to sell the Company's two corporate airplanes. In conjunction with that plan, the Company wrote the assets to fair value. The Company does not have any other assets or liabilities recognized at fair value.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis:



(In thousands)	June 30, 2016		June 30, 2015
Machinery and equipment
Corporate airplanes ¹	$	2,800	$	—
Other assets
Interest rate swaps	—		1,139
Accrued expenses and other liabilities
Contingent consideration	—		800
Interest rate swaps	2,768		3,295
Other noncurrent liabilities
Contingent consideration	56,631		60,735
Interest rate swaps	4,511		—

¹ Consistent with the decision to sell the corporate airplanes, these assets were adjusted to fair value in fiscal 2016, therefore, there is no fair market value measurement for fiscal 2015.

The fair value of interest rate swaps is determined based on discounted cash flows derived using market observable inputs including swap curves that are included in Level 2. The fair value of the contingent consideration and the corporate airplanes is based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represents Level 3 measurements.

The following table represents the changes in the fair value of Level 3 contingent consideration and corporate airplanes for the year ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015.



June 30,	2016			2015
(in thousands)
Contingent consideration
Balance at beginning of year	$	61,535		$	1,700
Additions due to acquisitions	—			61,335
Payments	(800		)	—
Change in present value of contingent consideration ¹	(4,104		)	(1,500		)
Balance at end of year	$	56,631		$	61,535

Corporate airplanes ²
Balance at beginning of period	$	8,439		$	—
Fair market value adjustment of corporate airplanes	(5,639		)	—
Balance at end of year	$	2,800		$	—

¹ Change in present value of contingent consideration is included in earning and comprised of changes in estimated earn out payments based on projections of performance and the amortization of the present value discount.
² Consistent with the decision to sell the corporate airplanes, these assets were adjusted to fair value in fiscal 2016, therefore, there is no fair market value measurement for fiscal 2015.
